60 YEARS OF INNOVATION

Our Origins –
Early Production

Freudenberg’s journey in thermal insulation dates back to 1948 with the production of its first nonwovens, creating the foundation for future insulation technology.

In 1963, thermal insulation production began at Japan Vilene, established with investment from Freudenberg and now part of the Freudenberg Group. By 1979, thermal insulation production had started at Freudenberg’s own facility in Weinheim, Germany.

Our expansion continued in 1983 with thermal insulation production in Korea, followed by additional production line in 1987 to meet growing demand. These foundational steps laid the groundwork for the comfortemp® brand, built around comfort and performance.

Expanding Manufacturing Capabilities

Our commitment to meeting global demand has driven significant expansions in manufacturing capabilities.

In 2005, we established thermal insulation production in China – a key milestone in our growth. To further strengthen our capacity, a new comfortemp® production line was added to China site in 2020.

In 2024, we expanded with a state-of-the-art manufacturing site in Vietnam, reinforcing our ability to deliver high-quality insulation solutions on a global scale.

Building the Brand

In 2017, the comfortemp® trademark was officially registered, marking a shift towards the development of a distinct brand identity with an independent mission and vision.

This transition enhanced our competitiveness in the market, fostered customer trust, and ensured long-term recognition of our innovative insulation solutions. By establishing comfortemp® as a trusted name in apparel insulation, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to delivering high-quality products that meet the evolving needs of partners and customers worldwide.
