Reinventing How You Chill for 75 Years

Most know us for the Playmate cooler — aka “America’s Lunchbox” — we engineered in 1971 that has such a distinct, innovative design, it’s on display at the Smithsonian. (We pride ourselves in thinking outside the icebox.)

Through many other innovations over the decades — the first plastic cooler in the ‘60s, the first wheeled cooler (1994), the first hardside coolers made from recycled plastic (2021) and much more in between — Igloo became the go-to brand for consumers who work hard and play harder. We’re happy to say Igloo is the most recognizable brand of ice chests in the USA!
