Terry Hertel founded the company in California in 1972; Hertel Wax was the first producer of all-temperature ski and snowboard waxes. The company approach was to micro-encapsulate tiny water-soluble surfactants into the wax.
The company holds a patent on the first fluorocarbon waxes, introduced in 1986.[1]
