Tervis is a third-generation American-owned and -operated company, renowned for the durable construction of its drinkware, the timelessness of its decorations & designs, and the insulation qualities which have stood the test of time.
Entrepreneur John C. “Jake” Winslow (c1914-1983) loved the outdoors. He made a name for himself supplying outdoor leisure lovers with marine, hunting, and sporting goods. He knew firsthand how hard it was to keep drinks cold and hands dry while enjoying leisure activities in the sun. He sought a solution to this problem to benefit boaters, golfers, tennis players and others like him who valued their well-earned leisure time. He discovered the work of Frank Cotter & G. Howlett Davis, who in 1946 created the world’s first permanently sealed, double-walled, insulated tumbler. Combining syllables of their last names, the two engineers called this dependable, leisure-friendly drinkware “Tervis.”

FAQ
What material are Tervis tumblers made of?
Is the plastic in Tervis safe?
How do I know if my Tervis tumbler is BPA free?
Can I recycle my Tervis tumbler?
Are Tervis tumblers insulated?
Tervis Tumbler Company is an American manufacturer of double-walled, insulated tumblers. The double-wall insulation is made by inserting a liner inside an outer shell, creating a layer of air between them. The two liners are then permanently fused together.
Who makes Tervis tumblers?
A part of the Winslow family, John C. Winslow officially founded the company in 1967 after acquiring the rights to the world’s first-ever permanently sealed, double-wall insulated tumbler. Based in Florida, where Tervis’s tumblers and wide-mouth bottles are made, you’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t own one of these iconic cups.
What is a Tervis Tumbler?
The Tervis Tumbler is your trusty companion. Oddly enough, the original technology was created in Detroit just after World War II. But perhaps that’s less strange when you consider the dual purpose of the double-wall insulation: to keep cool things cool for longer and keep warm things warmer for longer.
Why did Tervis Tumbler become a national product?
A big reason for the shift from state novelty to national product was a deal in the mid-1990s. Tervis teamed up with college sports in the first of many athletic licensing arrangements. The Tervis Tumbler Company came about later, landing in Osprey, Florida (about 10 miles south of Sarasota) in the late 1960s.
