Coleman Outdoor Equipment

Coleman is a cornerstone brand in the outdoor recreation industry, renowned for its camping gear, lanterns, and portable stoves. The brand traces its history back to the early 20th century in Wichita, Kansas, where it revolutionized portable lighting. Over the decades, it has expanded its catalog to include coolers, tents, sleeping bags, and specialized outdoor accessories used by adventurers worldwide.

Today, Coleman products are manufactured in multiple locations globally. While their iconic steel-belted coolers and some specialized lanterns have historically been produced in the United States, a significant portion of the general camping equipment line is manufactured in various international facilities to serve a global market.

In terms of corporate structure, Coleman is part of a large portfolio of consumer brands. Following its acquisition by Jarden Corporation and the subsequent merger of Jarden with Newell Rubbermaid, the brand is now under the ultimate ownership of Newell Brands. This transition solidified Coleman's position within a conglomerate of household names, benefiting from global distribution networks and centralized research and development.
