EMMITSBURG, Md., April 28, 2026 — Mount St. Mary’s University is proud to celebrate the continued success of innovation led by Thunlwyn Garcia, C'23 and Anthony Milazzo, C'24 with the recent acquisition of Elos Thermal by Nufabrx, a leader in textile-based therapeutic technology. The milestone highlights how ideas developed through the Palmieri Center for Entrepreneurship can grow beyond campus and reach broader commercial markets.
Elos Thermal, whose patented technology was developed by student entrepreneurs during their time studying at Mount St. Mary’s University, created temperature-regulating insole products designed to improve comfort, performance and recovery. Built on a controlled heat delivery platform, the company created products with applications for athletes, active consumers and individuals seeking everyday foot support.
Through the acquisition, Elos Thermal’s patented insole platform will now operate under Nufabrx Holdings, where it is expected to expand into new healthcare, sports recovery and footcare channels. The move demonstrates how university-supported innovation can progress from concept development and early-stage entrepreneurship into strategic growth opportunities with established industry partners.
The Palmieri Center for Entrepreneurship remains committed to helping students and alumni transform ideas into impactful ventures through mentorship, experiential learning and real-world business development opportunities. Success stories like Elos Thermal reflect the center’s mission of fostering creative problem-solving, innovation and entrepreneurship that can create value far beyond the classroom.
