Ontro, Inc.
Description: Hoping to please commuters and construction workers, Ontro has designed a self-heating container for liquids. The disposable, self-heating container looks similar to a standard 16 oz. beverage can, but pressing a button on the bottom warms up to 10 ounces of coffee, soup, or other liquid through a chemical reaction in a neighboring chamber. Ontro plans to sublicense its technology to major food, beverage, and container manufacturers who would then make, label, fill, and sell the containers under their own brand names. The company has signed a distribution agreement with specialty products maker Knickerbocker to sell a line of self-heating products on TV.
