More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman. And the company he founded would change life in America. A fascinating saga, if we do say so ourselves. One filled with historical significance, amazing innovations and delightfully fun things to know.
The current Coleman catalog is thick with recently introduced products that make spending time outside a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for several days. Airbeds that are comfortable and won't deflate during the night. A complete line of LED lights that are really bright and last a long time. Portable grills that are powerful and cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more.
"Don't let life put you back on your heels. Lean into it."- Sheldon Coleman Sr.
That mantra still guides the Coleman Company. They continue to lean into the future. Theirs is a company with an uncanny ability to adapt to change. A company with an intimate understanding of the consumer. A commitment to research and development that breathes vitality into every aspect of the business. A company that sets industry standards.
