In a company news release, Performance Health spotlighted its recent acquisition of THERA°PEARL, LLC, the Maryland-based creator of hot and cold therapy products using its proprietary Pearl Technology. According to a Performance Health news release, THERA°PEARL recently ranked 41st on Forbes magazine’s list of most promising companies and landed at 209 on the 2013 Inc. 500|5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America with 2,017% growth. THERA°PEARL will continue to operate from its headquarters in Maryland.

Marshall Dahneke, president and CEO of Performance Health, states, “THERA°PEARL brings proven strength and additional scale to our emerging retail business. The alignment for us is both natural and exciting as Performance Health is well positioned to introduce and promote THERA°PEARL’s unique portfolio more broadly while THERA°PEARL’s emphasis on resolving pain and promoting wellness is entirely aligned with our other key brands.”

Dahneke adds, “Combining their strengths and momentum with the rest of our business will lead to better and more comprehensive solutions for all of the customers we serve.”
