The Nalgene story began in the 1940s, when chemist Emanuel Goldberg developed high-quality plastic containers for use in the laboratory. These durable, leak-proof and lightweight bottles quickly made their way out of the lab and into the open air - thanks to ingenious scientists who discovered them as practical bottles for drinking on outdoor adventures.
In the 1970s, Nalgene recognised the potential of these robust containers and launched the famous wide-neck bottle onto the market. Its large opening made it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts: easy to fill, compatible with water filters and easy to clean.
Today, the Nalgene wide-mouth bottle is an absolute classic and a favourite with hikers, campers and survival experts the world over. The brand continues to stand for quality, innovation and sustainability - with bottles that are virtually indestructible and made from recycled materials.
