HISTORY OF THERMOS
At the start of it all in 1904, the founders domesticated the vacuum insulation technology, creating the first Thermos® product. A product that would quickly become a staple in the lives of adventurers, explorers, and everyday folks like us. With over 100 years dedicated to providing reliable products, Genuine Thermos® Brand remains just as committed today to helping you to Protect What You Love™.

CREATION OF THE VACUUM FLASK

The Vacuum Flask Origin Story
In 1892, Scottish scientist Sir James Dewar invented the vacuum flask. Through his work in cryogenics, he identified a need to keep a chemical placed in a flask at a stable temperature. To do this, Dewar placed a glass bottle in another larger glass bottle, and evacuated the air between the two bottle walls. In doing so, Dewar created a partial vacuum to keep the temperature of the contents stable. Hiring a professional glass blower to make a sturdier flask led to the commercial manufacture of the “Dewar Flask” in 1898.

THANKS TO SIR JAMES, THE VACUUM FLASK BECAME A SIGNIFICANT TOOL FOR CHEMICAL EXPERIMENTS, AND, LATER WITH IMPROVEMENTS FROM OTHERS, A POPULAR HOUSEHOLD ITEM.

THE HISTORY OF
THE THERMOS BRAND
1903
Reinhold Burger (Dewar’s glass blower) and his business partner Albert Aschenbrenner were manufacturers of scientific glass devices. While producing flasks for Dewar, they crafted a domestic vacuum flask with a protective metal casing and secured a patent for it.

An American businessman, William B Walker, met Burger on his travels to Berlin. In learning of the “Thermos” brand bottle and realizing the potential market in the United States, he strategically made plans to import, obtained the necessary patent rights, and began raising capital to manufacture in his country.
