Coleman soft cooler bag

Coleman is an iconic American brand that has become synonymous with outdoor recreation and camping equipment. Founded in 1900 by William Coffin Coleman in Kingman, Kansas, the company originally rose to prominence with the invention of the pressurized gasoline lantern. Over the decades, Coleman expanded its product line to include stoves, sleeping bags, tents, and its widely recognized cooler bags and chests.

While the brand holds deep American roots, its manufacturing operations have shifted to include global production facilities, with many of its soft-sided and textile-based products being manufactured in China for global distribution.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several major corporations. Since 2016, Coleman has been part of Newell Brands, an American consumer goods conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Newell Brands manages a diverse portfolio of household and outdoor brands, ensuring Coleman remains a staple for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide through various regional subsidiaries and distributors.
