Sistema 500ml Double Walled Stainless Steel bottle

Sistema is a prominent brand originally founded in New Zealand in 1987 by Brendan Lindsay. The brand first gained global recognition for its high-quality, BPA-free plastic food storage solutions, such as the 'Klip It' range, which are still manufactured at their state-of-the-art facility in Auckland, New Zealand.

While the brand's core plastic products remain manufactured in New Zealand, their hydration range, specifically the double-walled stainless steel bottles shown in the image, is produced in China. The product is designed and engineered in New Zealand to ensure it meets the brand's functional and aesthetic standards before being manufactured offshore.

In 2017, the original New Zealand company, Sistema Plastics, was acquired by the American conglomerate Newell Brands for approximately NZ$660 million. As part of the acquisition agreement, a commitment was made to maintain local manufacturing for the core plastic container lines in New Zealand for at least 20 years, though the brand operates as part of a diverse global portfolio managed from the United States.
