The story

The company was founded in Biel in 1908 by Ferdinand Sigg and Xavier Küng under the name Küng, Sigg & Cie. and produced kitchenware, bottles and electrical appliances from aluminum. In 1916 the company moved to Frauenfeld and changed the name to SIGG Aluminiumfabrik. Since 1998, the company has concentrated on the manufacture of bottles. According to market research, the company name is known by 70 percent of people in German-speaking countries.

Through the 1980s Sigg manufactured impact-extruded aluminum bottles for stove fuel storage and transport, popular with mountaineers, hikers and campers. The fuel bottles superficially resemble the water bottles, but lack the special linings of the latter. The company no longer manufactures fuel bottles.

On February 5, 2016, the Chinese company Haers Vacuum Containers announced that it acquired the bottle manufacturer for 16.1 million Swiss franc ($16.02 million).
