In 2004, Klean Kanteen released the first stainless steel water bottle onto the market to give people something better than plastic: a lightweight, re-usable, body-friendly bottle free of bisphenol A (BPA). Klean Kanteen has grown over the past five years from a tiny, upstart company to a leader in the stainless beverage bottle industry. As a solutions company more than a bottle company, Klean Kanteen partners with local, national, and international organizations to support efforts toward health, clean drinking water and protecting the environment.
