Lead - Blow Mold

Igloo Products Corp is an iconic and fast‑growing American brand known for exceptional and durable performance for everyday cooler needs. After more than 75 years as the leader in the housewares market, Igloo has pivoted to a high‑growth lifestyle brand for outside activities associated with fun, family, and friends.

Founded as a metalworking shop bringing fresh cold water to Texas workers in the field, Igloo invented the Playmate and became America’s most recognizable brand of ice chests. Today, Igloo has 90%+ brand awareness and is #1 in market share in the U.S., a pioneer in sustainability with biodegradable coolers and coolers made from post‑consumer recycled resin, and a growing DTC business that builds direct relationships with consumers.

In 2021, Igloo was acquired by Dometic Brands, creating an opportunity to grow both brands together on a global scale.
