Tervis Tumbler

What Tervis Tumbler does

Tervis is a family-owned, privately held drinkware manufacturer founded in 1946 and headquartered in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, with manufacturing operations at its Bradenton facility through subsidiary TMF Plastics. The company designs and produces reusable insulated tumblers, water bottles, and mugs using double-wall insulated construction to maintain beverage temperature, and offers customization services including laser engraving and an online design tool. Its product portfolio spans Classic Insulated Tumblers (10oz-24oz), Tervis Travelers stainless steel tumblers (20oz-30oz), Venture Water Bottles, insulated mugs, the recently acquired Tervis Symglass crystal-clear drinkware line, and the TervisHome dinnerware sub-brand.

Tervis generates revenue through direct-to-consumer e-commerce on tervis.com, wholesale distribution, corporate accounts, an affiliate program, and licensing royalties from a broad portfolio of licensed entertainment and sports brands (Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, DC Comics, Peanuts, NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, Margaritaville, and Guy Harvey). Products are sold at unit price points of roughly $15-$75 with promotional structures including free shipping above $99, bulk discounts of 15-25%, email signup incentives, and ID.me-verified discounts for first responders, healthcare workers, military, government employees, teachers, and students. The company employs 501-1,000 people, operates exclusively in the U.S. market, and recently marked 80 years in business.

In early 2026 Tervis installed a new executive team including President and Chief Revenue Officer Roger Parsons and Chief Marketing Officer Linn Jordan, and completed its first major expansion through the April 2026 acquisition of Nashville-based Symglass, extending the company into crystal-clear drinkware and broadening its product roadmap with new designs and licensed offerings.
