Stanley is an American brand of food and beverage containers invented by William Stanley Jr. [1] [2]
In 1913, William Stanley Jr. created the Stanley all-steel vacuum flask, better known as the Stanley bottle, as a result of his work with transformers, during which he discovered that a welding process he was using could be used to insulate a vacuum bottle with steel instead of glass. [3]
By 1915, William Stanley began mass production of the Stanley bottle. He acquired an empty building, renovated and equipped it with machinery for production of insulated jugs, beverage servers, and desk top decanters.
In 1916, William Stanley died at the age of 57. [4] A New York City investment company acquired the operation and hired a mechanical engineer, Harry Badger, as General Manager who continued to invent and develop new products which expanded the product line.
Stanley bottles were used by pilots during World War 2. [5]
The company was acquired in 2002 by Seattle-based company PMI Worldwide. [1]
Stanley introduced the 40-US-fluid-ounce (1,200 mL) Quencher bottle in 2016. The Quencher's early sales were not substantial, and the company stopped restocking and marketing it in 2019. After working with the Buy Guide, a women-run blog based in Utah, to sell 5,000 Quenchers, the company resumed production in an increasingly broad array of colors. [6] The product was the primary driver of Stanley's annual sales increasing from US$70 million in 2019 to $750 million in 2023. [7] Since successful influencer marketing campaigns for the Quencher, Stanley has shifted its marketing to sell primarily to women. [8]
In 2020, the company hired Terence Reilly, formerly of Crocs, as its president; sales of Quenchers rose 275% between 2020 and 2021. [1] [8]

A vacuum flask is an insulating storage vessel that slows the speed at which its contents change in temperature. It greatly lengthens the time over which its contents remain hotter or cooler than the flask's surroundings by trying to be as adiabatic as possible. Invented by Sir James Dewar in 1892, the vacuum flask consists of two flasks, placed one within the other and joined at the neck. The gap between the two flasks is partially evacuated of air, creating a near-vacuum which significantly reduces heat transfer by conduction or convection. When used to hold cold liquids, this also virtually eliminates condensation on the outside of the flask.
