While Conair has its own line of Thermolator water products, it rarely competed directly with Thermal Care. Based in Niles, Ill. Thermal Care will continue to operate there as a wholly owned subsidiary of IPEG. Tom Benson, a 25-year employee and former v.p. of sales and marketing for Thermal Care, was named president of the company.
