Why are Klean Kanteens made in China?
When we created the very first Klean Kanteen our goal was to promote healthy living and respect for the environment by giving people an affordable alternative to plastic bottles. From the get go, we shared many of the concerns you, our customers, have expressed about manufacturing the bottles in China. Before a single bottle was ever produced, we set in place checks and balances to ensure that our bottles are produced safely, sustainably and that the people making Klean Kanteens are treated well and paid fairly. Klean Kanteen is a family-owned business and we care for everyone on our team, from the person who answers your calls in California, to the welder in China who meticulously joins the parts of each Kanteen. By manufacturing our bottles in China, we can provide a handcrafted bottle of exceptional quality at a reasonable price. For more information, read how our products are responsibly made.
