What this episode covers
Tempshield started forty years ago by a husband and wife duo, the Sweeney's, Laura and Ted, on their kitchen table. They lived in Massachusetts at the time, and they were responding to a need in the marketplace. They developed their very first cryogenic protective glove and from there they developed aprons and gators because liquid nitrogen is a liquid, and it can splash on your clothes. If it gets on your clothes, it will absorb into the clothes and then of course right onto your skin. In 2018, Jim Woldenberg took over Tempshield and had continued to grow its operations and team. They even started a sister company called My Mainers that crafts gloves for outdoor recreation use. Tune in to hear more about how this protective gear is made and how Jim appreciates their Maine-made focus.
