Klean Kanteen TKWide Insulated Tumbler

Klean Kanteen — origin, manufacturing and ownership

Klean Kanteen is an American reusable‑drinkware brand that began in Chico, California in the early 2000s (officially founded in 2004). The company developed one of the first stainless‑steel, BPA‑free reusable bottles in the U.S. and later expanded to insulated tumblers, mugs and food containers. The pictured item shows Klean Kanteen's logo on a powder‑coated stainless steel tumbler consistent with their TKWide insulated tumbler family.

Klean Kanteen products are designed in Chico, California but are responsibly manufactured by established stainless‑steel factories in China (partner facilities reported in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces). Over recent years Klean Kanteen has increased use of certified recycled 18/8 stainless steel across its product lines and emphasizes lead‑free production methods and sustainable coatings (Klean Coat™).

In 2024 the brand entered a new ownership stage when it became part of Think Better Group, a UK‑based sustainable consumer brands platform. Klean Kanteen continues to operate from its U.S. headquarters as the brand subsidiary, while Think Better Group serves as the ultimate owner providing investment, global distribution and scaling support.

This identification is based on visible branding (Klean Kanteen logo on powder‑coated stainless steel) and product styling that matches the company's insulated TKWide tumblers.
