Walmart honored Igloo Products Corp. for 75 years of manufacturing at an event at Igloo’s headquarters in Katy, Texas on April 28, 2022. Igloo also launched an Overland Series of USA-made coolers sold only at Walmart.
Igloo said it has 1,400 employees and a 2.4 million-square-foot, three-building facility in Katy. The company started as a small metalworking shop in 1947.
The Overland Series
- Four models: a 25-quart bail-handle cooler, a 50-quart chest, a 52-quart roller and a 72-quart chest.
- They have 1.5-inch foam-insulated walls, an insulated lid, locking plates and built-in bottle openers.
Walmart said nearly two-thirds of what it spends on products each year goes to items made, grown or assembled in the USA.
“Igloo is proud to be recognized by Walmart for our history and commitment to manufacturing right here in the USA.”
