Our journey began in Chico, CA, but our impact spans the globe. In the early 2000s, the absence of reusable stainless steel water bottles in the US led us to pioneer change, introducing the first BPA-free stainless steel bottles in 2004. Today, Klean Kanteen is a global brand, inspiring a movement towards reusable stainless steel products, reflecting our commitment to reducing single-use plastic.
As a family and employee-owned company, we embrace independence, allowing us to uphold our principles and invest in groundbreaking initiatives. This unique structure enables us to align with international standards for transparency and sustainability, focusing on people, the planet, and product. Our circular design philosophy minimizes resource usage, reduces waste, and produces durable products. From the innovative Klean Coat® finish to Climate Lock vacuum insulation, we prioritize quality, environmental safety, and performance. With a Strong as Steel Guarantee, we aim to diminish single-use by delivering reliable, long-lasting products designed for life’s adventures.
