A passion for innovation drives everything we do

In 1986, when we began under the California Innovations brand, we had no idea that we would become the market leader in soft sided coolers and lunch packs. We acquired Arctic Zone in 2005 which provided us with even more talent and brain power. Throughout, we have remained steadfastly loyal to our starting principles: innovation and quality.

We have two super talented design teams, one in our head office in Toronto and the other in our Chicago design office. We also have our product management, graphics, sales and logistics teams in Toronto as well as the U.S. and have additional offices in Montreal and Shenzhen.

We have a long history of “firsts” that have enriched the soft sided, insulated products category including:

  • Original Collapsible Coolers
  • Insulated Lunch Bags
  • Removable Hard Plastic Liner
  • Collapsible Rolling Coolers
  • Dual Compartment Lunch Bags
  • Kids Non-Licensed Graphics
  • Zipperless™ Coolers with Hard Liners
  • Titan Deep Freeze® High Performance Coolers
  • TableTop™ Coolers
  • Ice Wall® Lunch Packs

Our passion for innovation is what defines us. We pride ourselves on bringing new ideas to the marketplace faster than any of our competitors and hold numerous design and utility patents. Attuned to the needs of consumers, our inspirations are vigorously tested and informed by consumer research.

Never one to rest on our laurels, we continue to look for ways to expand our categories and to bring new and exciting products to market.
