Thermos LLC Thermos logo.svg Founded
1904; 117 years ago in Germany Key people
Alex Huang (CEO) [1] Owner
Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation  Thermos LLC is a manufacturer of insulated food and beverage containers and other consumer products. The original company was founded in Germany in 1904.[2]  In 1989, the Thermos operating companies in Japan, U.K, Canada and Australia were acquired by Nippon Sanso K.K., which had developed the world's first stainless steel vacuum bottle in 1978,[3] before it renamed itself Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, as which it remains known in the present day. Taiyo Nippon Sanso also acquired the original Thermos GmbH company in Germany.[3]  Thermos as a trademark The word thermos is a genericized trademark used sometimes, since the early 20th century, as a term for any vacuum-insulated flask regardless of manufacturer.[4] From around 1910 until 1922, the American Thermos Bottle Company strove for this synonymity, as it was considered free advertising; the value of such advertising was estimated, in 1917, at between and million worth in American dollars alone. As the company and the vacuum-flask market grew, it became increasingly protective of its trademark, which it registered in 1923, following a narrow lawsuit victory over flask retailer W. T. Grant Company. Starting in 1935, Thermos employed a clipping service to find unauthorized usages and protested to dictionary editors who included thermos as a word rather than a proper name.[4] A 1940 internal memo said the definitions "undoubtedly would be cited against us in a lawsuit to defend the trademark. The best we can do is to try to 'purify' the definition of the word.[5] Into the 1950s, Thermos continued its efforts to protect it, creating various products (tents, lanterns, campstoves) bearing the name to affirm it as a brand name, not an item.  In 1958, Aladdin Industries announced intent to sell "thermos bottles", and the Thermos trademark holder (then named the 'King-Seeley Thermos Company') sued for infringement. In 1962, Judge Robert Anderson ruled that thermos was a generic term, due largely to Thermos's own publicization and lack of diligence in defending the trademark. Aladdin (or any company) could mark its bottles with a lowercase "thermos", while the Thermos company retained the uppercase usage.[4][6] This decision rendered the trademark partially genericized in the US Second Circuit (New York, Connecticut, and Vermont), but it remains a registered trademark in the rest of the US, and in over 100 other countries.[7]  History In 1892, James Dewar, a scientist at Cambridge University, invented the vacuum-insulated flask, a scientific vessel for storing liquified gases. It was not a household item fit for everyday use like carrying warm coffee. In 1903, the German glass blower Reinhold Burger got a German patent[8] for an isolating vessel for everyday use. In 1904, Burger registered the trademark Thermos[9] for his patent. In 1906, the company Thermos GmbH was formed by Burger with Albert Aschenbrenner and Gustav Robert Paalen. The production of Thermos-branded bottles in the United States was based on US patent 13,093 by Burger and Aschenbrenner.[10]  The vacuum flask is today commonly called the Dewar flask among chemists in recognition of its inventor, though he did not register a patent or trademark for his invention. When Burger and Thermos GmbH did so, Dewar sued, but lost his court case to claim intellectual property rights to the invention.[11]  Norwich production plant The citizens of Norwich, Connecticut, sought out the Thermos company to build and operate a plant on the banks of the Thames River.[12] A group of citizens under the group "Norwich Boomers" rallied the community to purchase 27 acres of land for 0 an acre so that it could be used for the Thermos. The house of Dr. William H. Mason was also on the property, and it was also a part of the purchase.[12] The Italianate house was converted to be used as an office building.[13] Together, the citizens and the city raised ,000. A contract was signed on February 14, 1912, it would make Norwich the home of the Thermos Plant and that Thermos would use Norwich's name on its advertising. Allyn L. Brown acted as attorney and provided counsel for the deal.[12] Thermos products produced in Norwich bear a stamp "Made in Norwich".[14]  The construction of the plant was a boon for Norwich, which helped the employment of the area after the decline of the textile industry.[14] The operations expanded into nearby Taftville, Connecticut and together the plants were active until they were phased out and shut down in 1988.[14][15] The Norwich site was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[16]  Expansion In 1955, the Thermos company, then named the American Thermos Bottle Company, acquired control of Hemp and Company, Inc., of Macomb, Illinois, manufacturers of the Little Brown Jug and other insulated jugs and chests, as well as Duncan Hines-branded outdoor grills. To reflect the growing diversity of products, the names of the North American companies were changed again in 1956; the US corporation became the American Thermos Products Company, while what had been the Canadian Thermos Bottle Co. Ltd. changed its name to Canadian Thermos Products Limited.[3]  Historical importance Thermos products made a major impact in the 1950s and sold over 2 million units.[citation needed] In 2004, the Smithsonian Institution museum featured Thermos products as part of its "Taking America to Lunch" retrospective of lunch kits from the 1880s to the 1980s.[14]
HISTORY OF THERMOS At the start of it all in 1904, the founders domesticated the vacuum insulation technology, creating the first Thermos® product. A product that would quickly become a staple in the lives of adventurers, explorers, and everyday folks like us. With over 100 years dedicated to providing reliable products, Genuine Thermos® Brand remains just as committed today to helping you to Protect What You Love™. 1892 CREATION OF THE VACUUM FLASK The Vacuum Flask Origin Story  In 1892, Scottish scientist Sir James Dewar invented the vacuum flask. Through his work in cryogenics, he identified a need to keep a chemical placed in a flask at a stable temperature. To do this, Dewar placed a glass bottle in another larger glass bottle, and evacuated the air between the two bottle walls. In doing so, Dewar created a partial vacuum to keep the temperature of the contents stable. Hiring a professional glass blower to make a sturdier flask led to the commercial manufacture of the “Dewar Flask” in 1898.  THANKS TO SIR JAMES, THE VACUUM FLASK BECAME A SIGNIFICANT TOOL FOR CHEMICAL EXPERIMENTS, AND, LATER WITH IMPROVEMENTS FROM OTHERS, A POPULAR HOUSEHOLD ITEM.   Sir James Dewar circa 1910 (above) and 1920 (left)  THE HISTORY OF THE THERMOS BRAND 1903 Reinhold Burger (Dewar’s glass blower) and his business partner Albert Aschenbrenner were manufacturers of scientific glass devices. While producing flasks for Dewar, they crafted a domestic vacuum flask with a protective metal casing and secured a patent for it.   Reinhold Burger circa 1900  1904 BURGER AND ASCHENBRENNER HOSTED A COMPETITION TO NAME THE VACUUM BOTTLE. A LOCAL RESIDENT SUBMITTED THE WORD “THERMOS” DERIVED FROM THE GREEK WORD THÉRMĒ MEANING HEAT.   William B Walker  1906 An American businessman, William B Walker, met Burger on his travels to Berlin. In learning of the “Thermos” brand bottle and realizing the potential market in the United States, he strategically made plans to import, obtained the necessary patent rights, and began raising capital to manufacture in his country.   1907 First Thermos plant, Brooklyn, NY  On January 31, 1907 Walker founded The American Thermos Bottle Company incorporated in Portland, Maine. A factory was leased in Brooklyn, NY, and under the supervision of Burger, imported machinery and German glass blowers to train workers on the proper manufacturing techniques.   The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition with a view of Mount Rainier  1909 GRAND PRIZE AWARD BEING PRAISED AROUND THE WORLD FOR ITS DESIGN, THERMOS WON THE “GRAND PRIZE AWARD” AT THE ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC EXPOSITION (WORLD’S FAIR) AND CONTINUED TO BE HONORED AT SEVEN MORE WORLD EXPOSITIONS.   Long before public relations became big business, Thermos kept its product in the nation’s headlines.  1911 Thermos Limited, located in England produced the first machine-made glass filler, a critical industrial breakthrough for speeding up production. In automating this glass blowing process, Thermos became a world leader in glass vacuum technology and manufacturing.  1912  American Thermos Bottle Company, Norwich, CT  The Thermos bottle craze surpassed Walkers anticipations—demand was exceeding production. Plans for a new site began and citizens of Norwich, CT, eager to bring purpose to their city, raised enough funds to buy land and build a factory.   WW1 Victory Parade   Circa 1920, Icy Hot Bottle and circa 1924 Thermos Jumbo Jug, a gallon-sized cork insulated container  1923 The No. 24 pint-size “Blue Bottle” was introduced for a mere 98 cents, as well as a new gallon-sized insulated food jar known as the Thermos Jumbo Jug.  1925 Thermos Bottle Co. merged with the Icy-Hot Bottle Co. of Cincinnati Ohio, also a vacuum bottle company established in the early 1900s. The combined company became known as The American Thermos Bottle Company.  1928 ADVANCEMENTS LED TO NEW USES FOR VACUUM-INSULATED TECHNOLOGY. NOTABLE PRODUCTS WERE THE INSULATED CABINETS FOR ICE CREAM AND FROZEN FISH, IN DEMAND UNTIL MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION BECAME AVAILABLE IN THE 1930S.     In 1929, Thermos was manufacturing vacuum containers for the storage of frozen fish.  1939 - 1945 DURING WORLD WAR II, THE THERMOS PINT BOTTLE AND THE WORKMEN’S LUNCH KIT WERE GRANTED THE HIGHEST CIVILIAN PRIORITY RATINGS, REQUIRING FACILITIES TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND. OVER 98% OF THERMOS FACTORIES EITHER PRODUCED PINT BOTTLES OR SPECIAL BOTTLES DESIGNED FOR MILITARY USE OR USE IN ATOMIC ENERGY LABORATORIES.  1952  Thermos acquired the Plastene Corporation of Indiana, manufacturers of plastic wall tiles and bathroom fixtures.  2,000,000 1953 Improving on their lunch kits, Thermos released the first fully lithographed steel lunch box with the image of Roy Rogers, which sold over 2,000,000 units in the first year.  1955 Expanding even further, Thermos gained control of Hemp and Company, Inc. of Illinois, producers of the “Little Brown” insulated picnic jugs and chests, and outdoor grills.   Hemp and Company “Little Brown Jug”  1957 THERMOS BRAND PRODUCTS, KNOWN ALMOST UNIVERSALLY NOW, HAD BEEN USED FOR PLASMA AND INSULIN TRANSIT, AS WELL AS BEING UTILIZED IN VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS MEASURING ELECTRIC POWER, RATE OF CLIMB IN AIRPLANES, DETECTION OF OIL DEPOSITS, AND WEATHER REPORTING.    1960 Thermos merged with the King-Seeley Corporation, thus entering the tent, camp stove, and lantern field.   1962 Thermos began long-standing partnership with Mattel™ with the introduction of the Barbie™ metal lunch box and bottle.  1966 Thermos introduced the world to their first stainless steel vacuum bottle.   1971 THE QUEEN’S AWARD TO INDUSTRY WAS PRESENTED TO THERMOS LIMITED OF ENGLAND FOR EXPORTING OVER 50% OF THEIR PRODUCTION TO OVER 100 DIFFERENT COMPANIES.   1985 Successfully introduced onto the market was the Thermos Coffee Butler, a vacuum-insulated glass carafe, becoming one of the top household products in North America that year.  2002 The high-performance IceBound line of soft coolers is introduced. Made with exclusive IsoTec™ multi-layered insulation and a leak-proof interior lining.    2004 In celebration of their 100th anniversary, Thermos hosted a gala at the Smithsonian Museum of American History with a featured retrospective display, “Taking America to Lunch,” a historical look at vacuum bottles and lunch kits from the 1880s–1980s.  Introduced FUNtainer® line of kids insulated products   2014 Parent companies acquired alfi GmbH, 100-year old German company specializing in premium carafes   2017 Thermos L.L.C. acquired Lifefactory, Inc., leader in glass hydration and baby products featuring silicone sleeves
