About Nalgene
Nalgene is an American water bottle originally produced by the Nalge Company, founded in 1949 in Rochester, New York by chemist Emanuel Goldberg, who named the firm after his wife Natalie Levey Goldberg. The company began making polyethylene pipette jars and labware to replace fragile glass in research laboratories. In the 1970s, hikers and campers adopted the wide-mouth lab bottles for their durability and leak-proof seal. Nalgene formalized an outdoor line and, following bisphenol-A concerns, reformulated its bottles in BPA-free Tritan copolyester. The bottles are made in Rochester. Supreme's collaboration printed a box logo on the standard 32-ounce wide-mouth bottle.
