The legendary thermoses from Big Frig come to Europe

14. února 2024Rigad News Pavel KreuzigerReading time 2 minutes

Back home in the United States, Big Frig has become a legend in just a few years. This manufacturer produces its thermoses and thermos mugs at an excellent price-quality ratio. And it does it really well. The thermos mug in the Big Frig range can be found as a tumbler, while the thermos is called a growler.

Gap in the market and rapid uptake

Brock Hutchinson took care of the creation of the Big Frig brand. He realized that he had discovered a gap in the market when he was ordering a large quantity of thermal mugs from China for one of his customers. At that time, he became convinced that there was not much choice in this market segment. And so he decided to start producing similar products himself.

In addition to thermos mugs and thermoses, Big Frig focuses on portable cooling boxes, including highly specialized ones aimed at transporting livestock vaccines, which are extremely susceptible to temperature changes. Like thermos mugs and other dining utensils, the coolers that were on the market before Big Frig were not satisfying Brock Hutchinson. They were either too expensive or not good enough.

In short, Big Frig is a start-up from the state of South Dakota, which was created in the head of one person. It wasn't until February 2016 that the brand brought its first coolers to the market and was such a success that it soon grew into a multi-million dollar annual business. In addition to the standard assortment, it also offers its customers custom-made thermos mugs, including those with a printed or engraved logo (either with a company or personal logo). thermoses and thermos mugs of the Big Frig brand are now distributed exclusively by Rigad for Europe.

At Big Frig you will find quality thermoses and thermos mugs.

"Roto-molded" boxes

The Big Frig brand first came to the market with roto-molded cooling boxes, which are also highly durable and almost indestructible thanks to this procedure. They provide resistance to falling, scratching, abrasion and solar UV radiation. For the sake of interest, let us mention that in just a few years Big Frig has become a specialist in a certain type of cooling boxes, namely those intended for the vaccination of livestock in the field. Hutchinson, who comes from the traditionally pastoral state of South Dakota, met daily with people who were dissatisfied with what the competition had to offer.

Outdoor tableware

For us and our customers, however, the more important feature of the Big Frig brand range are the dining utensils, specifically thermos mugs and thermoses, which we can recognize from competitors' products at first glance. Especially those thermos mugs that have a specific shape – they are narrower at the bottom and widen at the top. This is due to ergonomics, because mugs of this shape simply hold better and do not just slip out of your hand.

And then we have thermoses, which also stick to a uniform design. The individual pieces differ from each other essentially only in volume and will keep a hot drink hot and a cold one cold for dozens of hours. Thanks to this (and thanks to their durability), they are suitable for outdoor enthusiasts, among others, but you can also take them with you to the city.

Especially in the winter months, it is extremely convenient to have the opportunity to warm up from the outside as well as from the inside. Hot tea or coffee are wonderful stimulants that give us a physical and mental boost in the cold. And if we have a suitable container for our hot drinks, it's half the battle.
