Safety

Your safety comes first. That’s why we go beyond the standards in everything we build.

Design

Clean, functional, and timeless. Design is part of how our products work, not just how they look.

Easy to use

Smart solutions and intuitive features make every journey smoother, from daily errands to epic adventures.

Thule Test Center™

At the Thule Test Center™ in Hillerstorp, Sweden, our products undergo extreme testing — from desert heat to arctic cold, from water resistance and drop tests to wind tunnels, tensile stress, shock, and crash tests. The Thule Test Program™ includes over 25 proprietary test standards that go far beyond current ISO requirements. And to make sure our products deliver in the real world, Thule ambassadors push them to the limit in everyday use.

This is us

Our history

In 1942, in the deepest forest of Småland, Sweden, Thule was founded by Erik Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors. Since then, our focus has been designing and developing quality products that help you carry your gear wherever your passion takes you.

Designing great products is at the heart of who we are

At Thule, our products are rigorously tested and live up to a strict standard that far exceeds the current ISO standard. Designing great products is at the heart of our identity. This is why we take it very seriously when fraudulent actors try to impersonate Thule products.
