About Us
 |
Innotech Products, Ltd. specializes in the research and development, manufacture and marketing of portable electrochemical heaters and packaged food products incorporating this technology. We started our business in 1990, after our research efforts resulted in the development of a patented heater that was approved by the U.S. Government for use by the military. These "Flameless Ration Heaters" (FRHs) are non-toxic, water-activated and inserted into "Meals, Ready-To-Eat" (MREs) as MRE Heaters for heating individual rations for U.S. soldiers in the field. Since introduction, our company has sold over 1.5 Billion FRH MRE Heaters for use by the U.S. Military Armed Forces. |

In 1994, we began marketing a self-heating meal for the general public under the trademark name, HeaterMeals® designed to allow civilian consumers to enjoy "A Hot Meal, Anytime, Anyplace"™. HeaterMeals Self-Heating Meals come in an assortment of seven, great tasting, shelf stable entrees, a utensil pack, a pouch of water to start the food heater, and our patented Food Heater.

In 2003, we upgraded the Food Heater to the current Innotech Food Heater Pouch, reducing the food heating time by 20%. This had the additional benefit of reducing the size of the HeaterMeals outer package by 33%, resulting in easier storage and less waste. Our package design and logo was revised for a new look in 2005.
HeaterMeals are sold to Fire and Police departments, and other emergency first responders. We also continue to sell to our original target audience, truck drivers, in over 1200 truck stops across the country. We also sell to other key consumers such as hunters, fishermen, outdoorsmen, boaters, construction workers and people "on the go" in select sporting goods and other retail stores.
