Küng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit.

This is the most expensive water bottle I have ever bought. My son loves it at the first sight. It's light weight, has attractive design. The drawbacks are: it takes a few more turns to open/close the bottle cap than regualr bottles. The on/off gadget at the top is a bit tight for my son. He complained for the first a few use, later he got used to it.

Stamford, CT: A trendy metal water bottle that cashed in over BPA Bisphenol concerns in plastic bottles appears to have a BPA products scandal of its own. Sigg, the maker of metal personal water bottles that are sold in 15,000 stores worldwide, recently admitted that bottles manufactured prior to August of last year featured an inner liner that contained trace amounts of Bisphenol A.
Water BottlesThe latter is a compound widely used in plastic food containers and canned food linings. Environmental and health experts have raised the red flag over BPA in recent years over the association of BPA with cancer. Initial concern with regard to plastic baby bottles containing BPA, has mushroomed to include the entire population.
Many US states have considered regulating, or banning BPA outright.
When the BPA debate heated up Sigg was already there with its high-end metal water bottle, and consumers gravitated to the product with the mistaken assumption that a metal bottle (an alternative to plastic) was safer.
It is alleged that Sigg did little to dispel the myth that bottles manufactured prior to August of last year contained trace amounts of BPA in the liner. "They were aggressive in responding to anyone that said they did [have BPA]," said Jeremiah McNichols, co-editor and publisher of the blog Z Recommends, which targets parents.
"(Responses were) very cleverly constructed to look like it was a denial that BPA was in the product, but it wasn't."
Elaine Shannon, editor in chief at the Environmental Working Group, said "Americans want transparency, and this company doesn't seem to understand that." The comments appeared in the August 31st edition of Advertising Age.
It has been revealed that Sigg began working on a BPA-free liner in 2006 and invested about US $1 million to produce its BPA-free EcoCare bottle liner. None of this activity, it is alleged, was ever articulated to a consumer thinking Sigg metal bottles were already free of BPA.
Sigg defended its position, saying that the debate in its view was about the potential for leaching of BPA, not the presence of BPA itself. It has been reported that Sigg's bottles present 0 percent leaching.
"I believe that the BPA conversation has changed dramatically in the last 12 months," Sigg CEO Steve Wasik said in an undated letter recently posted on the Sigg website. "Last year, the primary concern was that of BPA leaching from bottles. Since that time the dialogue has evolved such that now some people are concerned about the mere presence of BPA and some states are considering legislation."
The letter was summarized in Monday's editon of Advertising Age.

I was an avid Sigg user and bought 5 of these for my son who has used them since he was 1 yrs old. I invested in them due to my concerns about plastic and BPAs. Well, it was just released that SIGG BOTTLES CONTAIN BPAS. The CEO of the company is saying he never claimed the product did not have BPas in them but instead said they did not "leach BPAs". I read in 2007 a letter in which he said the product was made with no BPAs or other harmful chemicals. At that time, they were very aware that their product WAS MADE WITH BPAS! Now, the new "safe" Sigg bottle without BPA's have a new epoxy liner. The liner on my son's 1 month old bottle is peeling off where the cap screws on. The Sigg website states that the liner will never peel, but when I went to my local store they had other returns where the liner is peeling. The old Sigg bottles have BPA in the liner and the new ones are peeling epoxy that children are then ingesting! I am returning ALL my old Sigg bottles and going to stainless steel- easy and no weird epoxy liner that may have chemicals in it. Shame on Sigg for convincing parents to switch from plastic when they lined their own products with BPAs! Klean Kanteen and Crocodile Creek have great alternatives. Please look up this info online and do your research!

My kids all have sigg water bottles. We love them cause they leak a lot less, the kids have to work at making them leak. :) Which means less mess for us to clean up!
By Scott Gardner
I really like this bottle -- it's my second Sigg of this type.
Pretty simple, really, holds water and the sport top is convenient. No idea why it costs almost $20 . . . it lost one star from me for value.
Unlike most of the others in this market, this brand is not made in China. Because of so many reports of um, irregularities in product production there, we've decided to avoid any Chinese made products that are part of the ingestion process. So, no foods and no products used to serve food. Clothing is a concern as well since it's directly on skin. Until they get control of pollution in factory zones, we suggest others to think about that as well.
