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 (600 South Wagner Road, Suite #821, 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.
