Global sports and outdoor equipment manufacturer with nine production facilities
Thule Group manufactures outdoor gear across sport carriers, active-family products, RV accessories, and bags—distributed across 138 markets with ~2,800 employees. The hiring mix (engineering, logistics, manufacturing, support weighted heaviest) and active projects centered on concept-to-industrialization, machinepark optimization, and supplier development reveal an operationally maturing org focused on production efficiency and supply-chain resilience rather than rapid product innovation.
Thule Group is a public Swedish manufacturer of outdoor and sports equipment founded in 1942. The product portfolio spans four main categories: roof-mounted carriers and cargo systems for vehicles; child and pet transport solutions (car seats, strollers, bike trailers); RV-specific gear including awnings and tents; and bags and mounting hardware. Products are manufactured across nine facilities worldwide and sold through 35 sales offices in 138 markets. In 2024, the group reported SEK 9.5 billion in annual sales.
Core tools include SolidWorks (CAD/design), Salesforce (CRM), Microsoft 365, QlikView (analytics), and manufacturing-focused systems: CNC, FMEA, SPC, and MSA for quality and process control.
Key initiatives include new product development, concept-to-industrialization processes, machinepark safety and productivity improvements, supplier development, and order-to-delivery streamlining across nine global facilities.
