Worldwide Brand

Growing globally to serve every customer

Our beginnings originate on American soil, a fact that's deeply rooted in who we are. And we’ve stuck to that. Years ago, we knew that to be globally competitive, we had to join the global manufacturing race. But unlike so many of our competitors, we kept our feet firmly planted in our home, and reached out across the world. At Lifetime, we believe we have a true responsibility to our partners and consumers to provide high-quality products with shorter lead times, while also providing opportunities for growth to each of our people all over the world. It has always been our goal to make products for you, in your backyard. And each day brings us closer to that goal. At this time, Lifetime still has roots in the U.S.A., manufacturing the majority of our products sold, right here in Clearfield, Utah. Along with that, we branched out with our manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China, and distribution centers in Monterrey, Mexico and Lille, France. Lifetime believes that consumers in all markets, in all countries, will benefit from receiving original quality products that incorporate Lifetime’s commitment to innovation and state-of-the-art technology. As a global manufacturer, Lifetime distributes and innovates worldwide and we hope to continue to grow. Our teams of research engineers and designers in the U.S.A. and China work in conjunction and are committed to improve products and processes. As Lifetime innovates in both the U.S. and in China, they are committed to protect the innovation where it has been created, thus ensuring that our products are ours; each design receiving the same rigorous testing and quality attention that we demand from our American facilities. And because Lifetime wholly owns and operates as a foreign and domestic entity, that means we own, operate, and manufacture without a joint venture or second-party ownership, safely employing over 2,000 workers all over the world. Why do we do all this? That’s simple. By extending the Lifetime family, building relationships with distribution partners, and offering local purchasing options, it makes purchasing our products easy, no matter where you are in the world.
