Racesafe Secures Future of Nuumed and Thermatex, Strengthening British Manufacturing.
Racesafe has secured the future of two respected British equestrian brands, Nuumed and Thermatex, acquiring both brands and ensuring their continued manufacture in Great Britain.
Long established across different disciplines, Nuumed and Thermatex have built loyal followings through their quality, performance and distinctive British heritage. Their products have become staples in many tack rooms and retail shelves. In recent years, however, like many UK manufacturers, they have faced increasing commercial pressures.
Racesafe, an established UK manufacturer of body protection and performance apparel, is in the process of integrating both brands into its existing production base. The move provides the stable manufacturing structure and technical know-how needed to support long-term growth.
Members of the former Nuumed and Thermatex teams are now working alongside Racesafe’s machinists to transfer knowledge and support a careful and structured restart of the ranges.
James How, Managing Director of Racesafe, said:
“Nuumed and Thermatex are brands that mean a great deal to riders and retailers alike. They have strong foundations and loyal customers, and we believe they deserve a stable and properly resourced future.
As a specialist UK manufacturer, we see real opportunity in combining their heritage products with Racesafe’s technical expertise, product development capability and manufacturing strength. Our intention is not simply to restart them, but to strengthen and evolve them carefully so they can thrive again.”
Production is being integrated into the Racesafe factory, with an initial core range expected to return to market in the coming months. The company is consulting closely with retailers to prioritise the most commercially important and much-loved products.
The move reinforces Racesafe’s broader commitment to British manufacturing at a time when many brands in the sector are reassessing domestic production.
“We are proud to keep these brands made in Britain,” added How. “Retaining skills, knowledge and local production capability is vital for the long-term health of our industry. With the right structure and investment, British manufacturing remains both viable and important.”
Further updates on product availability and relaunch timelines will be announced in due course.
