The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Coleman started in 1900 in Wichita, Kansas. W.C. Coleman built lanterns first. He made camping stoves and coolers next. The company pioneered the portable liquid-fuel lantern. That lantern burned bright in remote places. Camping became possible for ordinary people because of it. Coleman coolers kept food cold on long trips. The brand became essential American outdoor gear. Today Coleman sells camping equipment worldwide. Their coolers and stoves remain their mainstay. They operate across North America and Europe now. The company is tracked among 6649 brands monitored weekly.
