Facts About the Tupperware Company

Everyone knows the Tupperware name. But you may not know about the history of Tupperware or how this brand has evolved over the years. The company gets its name from inventor Earl Tupper, who worked as a chemist for Du Pont. He saw that Polyethylene, invented in 1942, would make an ideal plastic for home consumer use. The very first product was a shatterproof tumbler for the bathroom available in a variety of colors invented in 1945.

From there, Tupper began making the storage bowls that made him famous. In the beginning, Tupperware was sold in stores. However it was decided that consumers needed more information about these innovative new products. Tupper began marketing his plastic food storage items through home parties. The idea came about in towards the end of the decade and was based upon a sales strategy devised by Stanley Home Products. One of the most fascinating pieces of Tupperware history is that Earl Tupper sold the company for a whopping sixteen million dollars in 1958. $16 million is a lot of money now, it was even more at that time.

There have been many useful products introduced by the Tupperware company. At the current time product lines include Modular Mates, Rock 'N Serve, FridgeSmart, Oven Works and several others. There are Tupperware tumblers, serving pieces, kitchen accessories and more. Many of the storage containers made by this company can go from the freezer or fridge to the microwave then the table. This kind of multitasking is what helped make Tupperware products so famous. All Tupperware comes with a lifetime guarantee which is more than you can say for other plastic storage containers. They may cost a little more, but Tupperware products are made to last.

The Tupperware company is not just big in the U.S., but around the world. Tupperware is sold in more than 100 countries. While some of the product names may differ the quality remains the same. In addition to being a fantastic product line, Tupperware is also a career opportunity for some. Selling Tupperware through home parties can be a part-time gig or a full-time career depending on how you run your business. Even if you don't want to sell Tupperware hosting a party for a sales rep can earn you discounts and free gifts.
