Tervis Cups
Nyah Leveretter
Tervis cups are tumblers, which are cups that can your drinks cool or warm. They come in cool designs for all genders and ages. They first came about in 1946. Detroit engineers Frank Cotter and G. Howlett Davis used the natural insulating ability of air to create a permanently sealed, double-walled tumbler. Finally, a way to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold! This outstanding invention changed the drinkware industry forever.
They named the company by combining the last three letters of each of their last names. Using this rule, Cotter and Davis named their new brand “Tervis.” For years, they worked hard to improve their designs and make new ones. The original tall, cylindrical tumbler evolved into other sizes and products. Today, Tervis offers 10 tumbler sizes, as well as hundreds of customizable designs, emblems and accessory combinations. John C. Winslow purchased the Tervis product rights in the 1940s. The Tervis Tumbler Company was then incorporated in 1967. To this day, all Tervis drinkware is proudly made in America, where more than 900 people are employed through this family-owned-and-operated
