Sigg Water bottles- 100 years
SIGG celebrated it’s 100 year anniversary last year. Many people are surprised to learn they have been around for 100 years. SIGG started in 1908 in Switzerland by Ferdinand Sigg. In 2005, SIGG launched a USA subsidiary based in Stamford, CT. Since it’s introduction to the US, many people here are surprised to learn how old the company is. You have to ask your self why?
We in the US are not very good at being as some of our European counterparts. The whole environmentally friendly, green movement is to some a relatively new idea. And sadly to say to many an after thought that shouldn’t interfere with ones daily routine. We have grown accustomed to our conveniences and the disposable water bottle is one of them. Many people pick them up by the case load only to come back every week to get another. It’s only been in recent years have we started think about all those water bottles in the landfills.
The SIGG water bottle is an environmentally friend, rolls royce water bottle. And the great thing about them is that they come in many different designs and colors. Now you have to pay for the best and SIGG is probably one of the best out there. There are many that you can buy that are a lot less but there is something about the SIGG water bottles. It’s like the Ipod of water bottles. In 1993, SIGG was incorporated into the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. It is an art piece for water bottles and because it’s an art piece you won’t be as likely to throw it away as much as you would the disposable bottles. The only problem you’ll have is finding the right SIGG design that fits your personality. Of course you could be like me and just keep asking for different ones every time Christmas comes along.
