Originally founded by Emanual Goldberg in 1949, Nalgene® products were used as state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. Soon the polyethylene labware items found their way into the backpacks of scientists that were storing their camping needs in these handy containers on weekend trips. Until today Nalgene is known for their indestructible water bottles that come in a wide range of sizes and colours. These high-quality, reusable laboratory plasticware, hydration gear and bottles are lighter in weight than glass and protect against leakage, breakage, and contamination.
