A Brief History of FUTURO
Back in 1917, a young Cincinnati man named George "Jack" Jung, Jr. injured his foot. Desperate to get back in the game, he wrapped it with adhesive tape and continued playing football. This began FUTURO's history of innovation as Jung explored more supportive and comfortable materials.
- In 1919, the Jung Arch Brace was the first brace made available to the public.
- In 1930, an ankle brace was added.
- Over the next decade, Jung developed elbow, knee and wrist braces, and branded the company as FUTURO.
- In 1949, an elastic stocking was added to the mix, establishing FUTURO's compression hosiery business.
- With its sizable product line, in 1955, FUTURO introduced the industry's first in-store display in drug stores.
- In 2008, FUTURO was acquired by 3M, a diversified technology company serving customers and communities with innovative products and services.
- Today, with production facilities still in Cincinnati, FUTURO offers a complete product line of supports and compression products in 42 countries around the world. Holding over 70 patents, FUTURO continues to lead the development of innovative products that provide the comfort, support and proper fit that enable you to live, work and play more fully.
