t all started for Thule back in 1942 when Erik Thulin put the Thule name on a self-designed pike trap that he sold to local fisherman of Scandinavia. With his love for the great outdoors, Erik soon began adding other practical outdoor related items to the company's portfolio and the Thule name took off, gaining profitably year after year.
