our story

Hey. We’re WarmTronics. 

We added a heating element to Anti-Fatigue Mats using FAR infrared technology and now deliver the market’s most efficient heating solution for standing and static operatives. 

In turn, we positively impact our customers “triple bottom line” — for the benefit of people, planet and profit!

the problem

"Heating large sheds is a challenge, expensive, and a waste of energy."

It all began in 2018. At the time, WarmTronics CEO and Founder Tim Bailey owned owned a large facilities management firm specialising in warehouse maintenance. 

Whilst servicing his customer Whistl, Tim saw first-hand how difficult it was to heat large fulfilment spaces, especially during the colder winter months.

convection heaters

Convection units (such as Industrial Fan Heaters or Air Handling Units) heated the air. The problem was that the hot air rose straight to the high ceilings, away from operatives working on the ground.

Loading bay doors were also constantly in use, allowing significant amounts of hot air to escape and cold air to enter.

RADIANT heaters

Radiant units (such as Infrared Lamp Heaters placed above individual operators) were better because they directly transferred heat to the person, without heating the air in between. 

However, these products were extremely expensive to run and wasted huge amounts of electricity. They were also often multi-source and would regularly overload and trip the electrics when units were turned on simultaneously

tim's "aha moment"

On a site-visit to Whistl, Tim noticed that most warehouse operatives stood on Anti-Fatigue Mats, so thought why not combine the two and make a floor mat that heated the person as well?

Following a large amount of interest at proof of concept stage, plus a four year development process which involved working closely alongside a number of partners in the Warehousing & Fulfilment space, we now have the market leading solution.

our MISSION

Our vision is to become the leaders in energy efficient heating for workplaces. 

Far too many businesses waste money heating the air or overusing energy to keep their people warm. 

We believe there’s a better way and are shifting the way companies think about their heating.

By integrating our energy-efficient FAR infrared technology into our products, we are able to provide solutions that directly heat employees with minimal electricity use, drastically reducing running costs and cutting carbon emissions.

We’ve started with the roles that need it most, but our mission is to expand this technology across various industries and applications, offering a sustainable and effective heating solution for a wide range of environments.
