Coleman-New Braunfels' History

• New Braunfels was selected as a second Coleman manufacturing site because of the availability of manpower, land, transportation infrastructure (interstate highway and rail) and a favorable local business atmosphere.

• Coleman New Braunfels instituted, installed and tested the bulk urethane system that all of Coleman now uses in plastics operations.
