history
Gentherm was founded in 1991 under the Amerigon company in Irwindale , Southern California. From 2011, the Bavarian seat heating manufacturer WET Automotive Systems from Odelzhausen was taken over . After Gentherm's stake in WET Automotive Systems had risen to over 95% in June 2013, a squeeze-out of the remaining shareholders began. Individual complaints against the squeeze-out were rejected by a decision of the Munich Higher Regional Court of July 30, 2018, and the squeeze-out was then concluded.
