From consumer convenience to humanitarian relief, military operations, and industrial applications, Tempra’s innovations deliver safe, portable, and reliable temperature control—anytime, anywhere.

As Tempra advances from research and development into global commercialization, our licensing-based business model enables established manufacturers and distributors to bring our proprietary technologies to markets worldwide.

With a growing network of international partners and a substantial intellectual property portfolio, Tempra is positioned to redefine how the world heats and chills products on demand.

The Science of Tempra Tech

Innovative Science. Extraordinary Possibilities

At the heart of Tempra’s technology is a proprietary thermal energy platform that harnesses controlled chemical reactions to generate heating or cooling on demand … without electricity, batteries, flames, or external energy sources.

Tempra’s patented self-heating technology utilizes a carefully engineered proprietary exothermic reaction that generates heat within a sealed heating system, allowing beverages and prepared meals to reach serving temperatures in minutes. Our proprietary thermal management technology regulates the reaction to deliver consistent, sustained warmth while keeping the heating components separate from the food or beverage.

Our self-chilling technology employs endothermic principles to absorb heat, enabling beverages and other products to cool without conventional refrigeration.

Designed for safety, portability, and convenience, Tempra’s technologies can be integrated into a wide range of applications, including self-heating beverages containers, ready-to-eat meals, personal care products, and specialized humanitarian and military solutions. The result is a revolutionary approach to temperature control – delivering heat or cold precisely when and where it is needed, anytime, anywhere.

Our Purpose

A BOWLFUL OF HOPE

Deliver safe, reliable, self-heating meals and beverages to people in humanitarian crises, disaster zones, military operations and remote environments—anywhere conventional heating may be unavailable or impractical.

CONVENIENCE WITHOUT LIMITS

Make heating and cooling available anywhere, anytime so people can enjoy their favorite meals and beverages without the need for traditional heating, refrigeration or external power.

INNOVATING FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Through our PolyX™ bioplastics technology, we are developing a new generation of materials for food and beverage packaging designed to reduce plastic waste and support a circular economy—without compromising performance.

Subsidiaries
Tempra Jordan

In 2024, Tempra expanded its regional presence by opening the Tempra Jordan offices in Amman. Working through Tempra Jordan and in collaboration with the Office of His Majesty King Abdullah II, we entered into a licensing agreement with Loyalty Support Services (LSS) for the manufacture and distribution of Tempra’s self-heating food bowl technology.

This strong local presence gives Tempra an important advantage: an experienced team on the ground that understands the region, speaks the language, appreciates local business practices and cultural priorities, and can respond directly to customers and partners. With LSS’s established manufacturing capabilities and regional infrastructure, Tempra is well positioned to scale production and fulfill large-volume orders throughout Jordan and the broader Middle East.
