HARApad, LLC

HARApad, LLC is a homegrown business based in Grand Haven, Michigan, started by 3 mechanical engineering graduates.

When one of the co-founders' mothers was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, it hit a place close to home. This event inspired a large personal research endeavor to learn more about cancer. Through further reasearch on several suspected causes of cancer, he found a recurring topic in electromagnetic radiation (EMR). He then assembled a team of two additional engineers to further his cause, and attempt to find what devices were producing this EMR. This group began meeting several times a week pouring over research and testing in their spare time.

Armed with a Gaussmeter and pages of doctoral reports, the team found in their research a significant amount of electromagnetic radiation generated from laptops. The idea to develop a radiation reducing product grew into a design, and the design into a verified product right in the home of the co-founder. After 2 years of extensive testing, idea conceptualizing, result verification, and design optimization, the Heat And Radiation Attenuating pad, or HARApad, was born.

Declared an officially recognized LLC in March 2009, HARApad, LLC achieved global sales in its first week and has become the benchmark in laptop electromagnetic radiation protection. Today, the HARApad is managed and manufactured at the headquarters facility in Grand Haven, Michigan.
