Local Bottle Manufacturer Kick Starts Production

YAKIMA, Wash. - June 1, 2017 - PRLog -- UNION GAP – Liberty® Bottleworks launches a Kickstarter campaign for a new double-walled tumbler product - the first double-walled tumbler that will be 100% made in the US. In the first 48-hours, Liberty® has raised over  $11,000 towards its $60,000 goal. The $60,000 will be used to retool their existing equipment so they can make the tumblers entirely at their own facility. This will in turn lower the cost for customers who want to buy the tumbler.

"Over the years, our customers' needs have evolved," says Aaron Collier, General Manager at Liberty®. "We decided to create a double-walled tumbler that keeps drinks hot or cold longer than our traditional bottle."

Liberty® is able to manufacture this new tumbler with a few parts they purchase from a local metal shop. However, using these parts is not efficient, and the bottles are costly to make. By the time the bottle reaches a customer, the price is not as affordable as Liberty® would like.

Collier says Liberty® Bottleworks is the only company making bottles exclusively in the US, and he's proud of that. Liberty® employs American workers, supports the local economy, and gives back to the local community.

Liberty® Bottleworks' commitment to community is reflected in the pledge packages available for people who donate to the Kickstarter campaign. For every donation over $35, Liberty® will give a water bottle to a local homeless shelter, with more bottles given for higher donations. These bottles will be a big help during the hot summer months. In the first 48 hours, it is up to 250 bottles to be donated to a local homeless shelter.

The campaign will run for two months, until July 29^th. If the $60,000 goal is met, Liberty® will start production on the new manufacturing equipment in August, and they expect to be making the new tumblers by October.
