SIGG Can’t Keep Up With Water Bottle Demand

July 5, 2008

Over the past year or so, due to the publicity over bottled water, I’ve gradually become aware of movement toward personal water bottles that are designed to last longer, not contain harmful chemicals, not leak, etc. I like the idea of having personal water bottle for my kids. It is a great way to get them away from bottled water, soft drinks and juice boxes. So during the round of May birthdays at our house, after some research, I decided to give SIGG water bottles as gifts.

I found some good designs at a couple of local retailers but was having some trouble finding the specific design my son wanted. I had been to the SIGG online store in May and went back there to see if I could find the specific design there. I ran into this at the MySIGG online catalog:

Due to the incredible demand for SIGG bottles, we are forced to close down the MySIGG shop. We are also unable to supply any other Internet business for Sigg Brand. Our Swiss factory is working around the clock to produce and ship more bottles to us, but the demand has currently and for the near future - exceeded the supply.

That is pretty crazy. They have been silently making their water bottles for a 100 years and now they can’t keep up with demand. I bet they are pretty excited to finally see the shift toward their product.

In the meantime, here are some retailers they recommended you check out:

In addition to SIGG, you may want to check out Klean Kanteen. They are marketing a stainless steel personal water bottle (as opposed to SIGG’s aluminum version).

Anyone have a stories to share regarding their experiences with either brand? I personally like the new SIGGs that I’ve gotten the kids. First and foremost, they don’t leak. Second, since it is their own personal bottle, they like keeping up with it and actually like drinking out of it (more water, less juice!).

    Greg,

    My laptop has the blue screen with SPYWARE.MONSTER.FX_WILD_0X00000000. It reboots, runs for a few minutes, and the blue screen comes back again.
