The aluminum Sigg Lifestyle 20-ounce (0.6-liter) screw top bottle fits into most standard cup holders, and minimizes taste-retention and residue buildup thanks to an aluminum lining that ensures a clean, crisp sip every time. Its sturdy extruded aluminum design means it'll be around to carry your beverages for years to come. Why toss out yet another plastic bottle, or let plastic chemicals leach into your water, when you could use a stylish, timeless Sigg bottle instead? History of SIGG Bottles
SIGG Switzerland dates back to 1908, when metal processing specialist Ferdinand Sigg established an aluminum product factory 30 kilometers outside of Zurich. Along with his colleague Xaver Küng, the two men combined their love of metal and the strong belief that "aluminum is the material of the future." Their product line, which was called SIGG AG Aluminiumwarenfabrik, was initially comprised of saucepans, frying pans and bottles. By 1958, SIGG had thousands of products that were all manufactured in the company's own rolling mill and drawing shop.
For the last 90 years, corporate headquarters have been based in the charming village of Frauenfeld Switzerland, where SIGG employs about 60 dedicated people, and following its recent 100 year anniversary, SIGG has its sights set on growing the brand outside of Europe. In 2005, SIGG launched a USA subsidiary based in Stamford, CT.
SIGG's Products
SIGG, "The Original Swiss Bottle", is recognized world-wide for Swiss quality and craftsmanship that comes from 100 years of heritage and experience. Produced from a single component that is seamless and has no comparable weak points, SIGG bottles are tremendously durable and virtually unbreakable. In June 2006, Backpacker magazine conducted a relentless field test of leading water bottles brands. With a 100-pound cannon packed with golf balls, they were able to destroy all of the targeted bottles--except SIGG's. Backpacker dubbed SIGG "The World's Toughest Water Bottle."
As tough as they are on the outside, it's the inside of SIGG bottles that make them unique. Due to SIGG's proprietary internal coating, these high-tech bottles are resistant to fruit juice acids, energy drinks, alcohol, and virtually any beverage. Because the liners are taste- and scent-neutral, you can enjoy any beverage you'd like without lingering smell or taste of the last beverage you drank. The composition of the liner also reduces chances of bacteria build-up. And since the liner is virtually baked into the inner walls of the bottle, it will not flake or chip even if dented on the outside.
Combining function and fashion, SIGG bottles come in over 100 unique, eye-catching designs. Utilizing 30 independent artists from around the world, SIGG Switzerland introduces new, cutting edge styles every year. Leak-proof caps are interchangeable, creating over 1,000 possible combinations. SIGG bottles are 100% recyclable after their very long lives. In fact, most SIGGs are still being used 10-20 years after purchase.
