Erik Thulin began in 1942 with the manufacture of products for Swedish fishermen ; the Thule brand was born. The first product appeared in 1955. It was a headlight protection grille. The first ski rack followed in 1962, and in 1964 the first roof rack with a basket.
In 1977 the TB 11 Skibox came onto the market and helped the company to international success. In 1992 Thule bought the German Jetbag GmbH in Neumarkt / Oberpfalz from eco Kunststoff GmbH & Co. KG. In 1997 the company became the world's largest manufacturer of roof boxes.
