The Coleman factory location depends on which Coleman product you are asking about, because Coleman Company makes camping gear and licenses its name for RVs to a different manufacturer. For Coleman outdoor gear including lanterns, stoves, coolers, tents, and sleeping bags, the historic factory was in Wichita, Kansas, where the company was based for most of the 20th century. Today Coleman Company, owned by Newell Brands, is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and its products are manufactured globally in facilities in Wichita, Kansas for some premium coolers and lanterns, as well as in Mexico and Asia for most tents, sleeping bags, and chairs. For Coleman campers and travel trailers, there is no Coleman-owned factory. Coleman campers are built under license by Dutchmen Manufacturing, which is owned by Keystone RV and Thor Industries. Dutchmen builds all Coleman Lantern, Lantern LT, and Rubicon travel trailers at its manufacturing complex in Goshen, Indiana, which is widely known as the RV capital of the world. Goshen and surrounding Elkhart County produce over 80 percent of all RVs in North America. So if you are looking for the factory that builds Coleman RVs, it is the Dutchmen plant in Goshen, Indiana, while Coleman camping equipment comes from a distributed global supply chain with roots in Kansas.
