Is Coleman a Canadian company?

No, Coleman is not a Canadian company. Coleman is an American company with a long history in the United States. It was founded in 1900 by William Coffin Coleman in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and quickly moved to Wichita, Kansas, where it became famous for its gasoline-powered lanterns and camp stoves that were essential for American farmers and campers. Today, Coleman Company Inc. is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and is owned by Newell Brands, a large American consumer goods conglomerate based in Atlanta, Georgia that also owns brands like Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, and Yankee Candle. The reason for confusion is that Coleman has a very strong presence in Canada and is sold in virtually every Canadian outdoor retailer including Canadian Tire, MEC, and Bass Pro Shops Canada, and it operates Coleman Canada as a distribution subsidiary for marketing and warranty support in Canada. Some older Coleman products were also made under license in Canada. However, the brand ownership, trademarks, and corporate headquarters are American. Coleman campers are also American-made, built by Dutchmen Manufacturing in Goshen, Indiana. So while Coleman is beloved by Canadian campers and widely available there, it is definitively an American brand, not a Canadian one.
