What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, TPMURD, Inc. has a complex historical relationship with Dryject. In 2008, principals acquired DryJect Services, LLC and DryJect, LLC from Profile Products LLC, reversing a prior acquisition. As part of the same transaction, DryJect Manufacturing, LLC, an affiliate of Profile Products LLC, sold its inventory of parts, consigned equipment, and assigned intellectual property to TPMURD, Inc., which was formerly known as AAT. Shortly after this transaction, TPMURD, Inc. changed its name to DryJect, Inc. This series of transactions indicates that TPMURD, Inc. was instrumental in consolidating assets and intellectual property related to the Dryject business under a single entity.
Later in 2008, DryJect Services, LLC was merged into TPMURD, LLC, with TPMURD, LLC surviving. Following this merger, TPMURD, LLC changed its name to DryJect, LLC. This further demonstrates TPMURD's role in the evolution of the Dryject brand and its organizational structure. These transactions suggest that TPMURD, Inc. was a key entity in the restructuring and rebranding of Dryject.
In summary, TPMURD, Inc. (later renamed DryJect, Inc.) acquired significant assets and intellectual property related to the Dryject business and was later involved in mergers that ultimately led to the formation of the current Dryject, LLC.
