RVS bekers (Stainless Steel Cups)

RVS bekers, also known as Roestvrij Staal or stainless steel cups, are generic durable kitchenware items popular for their longevity and eco-friendly nature. Unlike branded items, generic RVS cups are produced by a vast network of manufacturers globally, with a significant concentration in industrial hubs in China. They are often sold under various private labels or as unbranded items by local retailers and outdoor specialty shops.

The origin of the stainless steel drinking cup is tied to the broader industrial revolution and the invention of stainless steel in the early 20th century. Today, these products are ubiquitous in the camping, office, and sustainable living markets. Because they are often produced as generic goods, the ownership is typically fragmented among many small to medium-sized manufacturing firms rather than a single global conglomerate.
