Warmilu manufactures US patent-protected warming technology able to generate warmth with the press of a disk that lasts for hours and can be reused. Their warming technology is integrated into various applications including IncuBlankets, alternative infant incubators for resource scarce settings; stadium seat cushions for keeping fans warm in football stadiums; and outdoor recreation. Warmilu is there when you need warmth the most. #spreadthewarmth #savelives
We are at our core a materials science engineering company on a mission to save lives.

We use our technology to bring people warmth when they need it. We manufacture high-quality warming packs in Ann Arbor, MI with US made materials that are safe and regulated so they can be used even with the most sensitive and vulnerable patients.
Our long-term goal is to prevent deaths from hypothermia and hypothermia related causes across the globe and be the world’s premier non-electric warming technology company.

Warmilu is a global company committed to saving lives across the world. Here is where we are currently deployed!
WHAT DOES WARMILU MEAN?
Warmilu in true collaborative spirit was named by Professor Jason Daida. He inspired co-founder Grace Hsia to follow her heart and pursue engineering. Years later, when the team was seeking a name, he suggested “Warmilu.” When Grace asked what Warmilu meant, he responded:
“Parents and caretakers love their premature infants; unfortunately, love is not enough to save their lives. Warmilu’s warmth then becomes a physical embodiment of that love. So Warmilu means “Warm – I love you.”
Though Professor Jason Daida passed away 2 months later from cancer, his engineering and entrepreneurial spirit lives on in Warmilu’s name.
All Warmilu packs are made in Ann Arbor MI at our production space (326 West Liberty Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48103). We house all the equipment we need to prep and process all the raw materials used to make all InstaWarmers in Michigan. We use all US-made materials and do all of the manufacturing and assembly and shipping. Our passion to give back to the entrepreneurial ecosystem means that we frequently give tours onsite and welcome community members, organizations, students, nonprofits, and budding entrepreneurs to sublease space and visit to jumpstart their ideation, validation, custom R&D, and production.
All Warmilu IncuBlankets are made in the United States, either in the Warmilu sewing studio production space in Northville MI or through Chicken Tramper Ultralight Gear (Hancock, MI). We and our contract manufacturer house all of the equipment we need to prep and cut fabric, design the IncuBlanket and sewn good patterns, and sew the final IncuBlankets.
Warmilu is responsible for the final quality control and quality assurance review of all products produced before they are shipped to our final nonprofit, hospital, government agency, physician, and midwifery customers.
