About Stanley1913
Founded in 1913, the company has put major efforts in recent years towards expanding its product range, thereby changing how we store and consume food for good. Since 2021, the company has been doubling its annual revenue every year and is on track to keep doing so in the near future.
To achieve this fast growth, Stanley1913 focuses on its core strengths: innovation and sustainability. One example of innovation is the Camping product line; another is creating products in vibrant colors to appeal to the young demographic. Stanley1913’s sustainability proposition focuses on creating products that last a lifetime, from recycled materials and wrapped in paper packaging.
The globally operating brand, owned by HAVI, has its headquarters in Seattle. The EMEA region is served by a commercial team of around fifteen people in Amsterdam.
