Is Coleman a Canadian brand?

No, Coleman is not a Canadian brand. Coleman is an iconic American outdoor brand founded in 1900 by William Coffin Coleman in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and later based in Wichita, Kansas, where it built its reputation making gasoline pressure lanterns and camping stoves. The company is now headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and is owned by Newell Brands, a large American consumer goods conglomerate that also owns Rubbermaid, Sharpie, and Yankee Candle. Coleman products are sold worldwide, including very widely in Canada through Canadian Tire, MEC, and other retailers, which causes some confusion, but the brand identity, history, and ownership are American. Coleman does have a Canadian subsidiary, Coleman Canada, which handles marketing and distribution for Canada, and some Coleman products have been manufactured in Canada in the past through licensing, but the brand itself originated and is owned in the United States. Its classic red logo and products like the Coleman lantern, cooler, and tent are considered quintessential American camping gear. The brand's manufacturing today is global, with products made in the USA, Mexico, and Asia, but it remains an American brand under American ownership, not Canadian.
