About Stanley 1913

In 1913, William Stanley, Jr.—a respected physicist and inventor with over 100 patents to his name—faced a pressing problem: He needed a way to keep his coffee hot all day. So, he invented the all-steel, double-wall vacuum bottle.

We've been at it for over 100 years, evolving from necessity to cultural icon. Our vision is to fuel the human experience, showing up for people who show up every day—across every continent, all around the world. Today, Stanley 1913 has offices across the globe with a large, dedicated Bearforce team driving innovation forward.

From worksites to fashion week, campgrounds to city streets—we make products that keep up so you can keep going. We offer a range of food and beverage solutions from leakproof tumblers and water bottles to durable coolers and lunchboxes, to our distinctive café ware and barware. Products that perform and look good doing it, in colors and styles that reflect who you are. 

But our mission is bigger than convenience. We commit to a better way of creating, building, and inventing—for a better life, and a better world. We partner with today's most innovative brands and creators to deliver products that last and practices that matter. 

We prioritize ethical sourcing and lower-impact manufacturing—from using recycled materials and our Built for Life® promise to implementing our Take Back program (which keeps well-loved stainless-steel Stanley 1913 products out of landfills)—to reduce emissions even as we grow. Beyond sustainable products, our purpose-driven culture extends to our people: Project 1913 empowers every employee to volunteer in their local communities, aligning our actions with our mission to build a better life and world. We also actively invest in up-and-coming changemakers tackling global challenges through initiatives like the Stanley 1913 Creators Fund.
