KONG Coolers was launched by rotational molding company Elkhart Plastics, Inc. in May 2017. Elkhart Plastics has been an expert in high-end rotomolded products for more than 30 years and is one of the top rotomolders in the U.S. Click here to read our story.
The coolers are currently manufactured at Elkhart Plastics’ facility in Atlantic, Iowa. Before that, they were made in the company’s Ridgefield, Washington, facility. The KONG Coolers team works from Washington, Iowa, and Indiana.
There are lots of innovative premium cooler companies out there, but there are many reasons why KONG Coolers stand out.
Made in America. Our coolers are manufactured and sold from an Elkhart Plastics facility in Atlantic, Iowa. This lets us keep prices low and quality high. We have always been Made in America, and we always will be.
Superior Ice Retention. KONG Coolers have been tested by third party reviewers to hold ice for 10+ days, which is longer than most other leading brands.
Accessories. KONG Coolers are well-known for our unique add-on accessories including the Divider, Cut’n Tray, Kicker, Bottle Biter, and Krush Guards. Many of our accessories are multi-functional. Shop accessories here.
Handles and Latches. KONG Coolers handles and latches are made of nylon, making them more sturdy and dependable. Most companies use rope handles and rubber latches.
Lid. KONG Coolers lids open up at a 45-degree angle while up against a hard surface, making them more user friendly.
Yes. Our coolers have been tested and certified by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC). Videos of the testing are available on our YouTube channel.

Dividers: Every KONG Cooler comes with one Divider. Aside from the KONG 25, every size KONG Cooler can be used with multiple dividers to either shelf or divide cooler contents. This allows you to divide your cooler into various sections for maximum storage. For example, dry goods can be kept on one side of the cooler while ice and beverages are on the other.
Cut’N Trays: This accessory can be used by mounting it to the side of any size cooler with a Kicker. Or, it can be stored on the upper rim in the KONG 50, KONG 70, and KONG 110. Official Cut’N Trays for each size (except KONG 25) are sold separately in the accessories section of the website. Dividers can double as Cut’N Trays.
Bottle Biter: This is our most popular accessory. It can be added to any size KONG Cooler and is completely removable. Check out an installation video from one of our ambassadors here.
Each cooler comes with one Divider. Other accessories are sold separately.
