In the mid-1970s, the home-delivered meals market was poised for a prolonged period of explosive growth. Anticipating market needs, engineers at GMA (the predecessor of CoverTex) pioneered the Therm-O-Pouch delivery system in 1978. When our clients delivered their pizza and other fast foods in Therm-O-Pouch hot bags, improvements were immediately recognized.
Customers were happy. The home-delivered meals arrived hot and fresh, thanks to the thermodynamically designed containers that maintained foods at above specified temperatures and controlled for moisture.
Customers came back for more. Customers associated the vendor with good healthy food, an impression reinforced by the professional appearance of Therm-O-Pouch hot bags with their crisp corporate colors and logos.
Therm-O-Pouch research is ongoing:
By the early 1980s, to help “sell the sizzle”, logos became a popular option, both traditional screen printing and 3-dimensional multi-color embossed logos.
In the 1990s, research into new materials and technologies resulted in additiional Therm-O-Pouch lines, allowing buyers to choose exactly the right product for their needs.
In 1995, to provide increased level of service, CoverTex became a separate corporate entity, assuming the operating assets of GMA’s food delivery division.
In 1996, a manufacturer of a new auxiliary heating device approached CoverTex for safe, efficient containers. CoverTex sourced and was granted independent research funding to produce these. Since then, CoverTex has designed, developed and tested Therm-O-Pouches for all types of add-on heaters. Our products are recommended by leading manufacturers.
In 2004 CoverTex begun importing bags from Asia in an effort to reduce customer cost and to provide larger volume customers the reward associated with volume purchasing.
In 2005 CoverTex initiated research on the VAC-PAC. This revolutionary insulated bag was later introduced into the market and continues to be a source of inovation.
2006 was the year CoverTex purchased the Food Division of AcuTemp in order to provide our customers with a complete line of thermal management products.
Today, the food delivery industry continues to expand, and CoverTex remains your front-line supplier of all delivery products.
