L. May Manufacturing is a Canadian metal fabricator founded in 1957 by Leo May in Sudbury, Ontario. May, a nickel miner at INCO Ltd., built the first prototype after his original tin lunchbox collapsed when he sat on it waiting for the underground cage. The aluminum lunchbox he designed could hold an adult's weight, fit a thermos, and survive being dropped down a shaft. May patented his automated production line in 1978, and at peak the factory produced 50,000 boxes per year. The original tooling is still in use. Supreme has collaborated with L. May on a co-branded aluminum miner's lunchbox.
