It’s hard to imagine the existence of a South African cupboard without Tupperware, the plastic storage solution for homes and kitchens. Tupperware has grown into an international brand, sold in more than 100 countries, and is even listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Tupperware was invented by the American inventor, Earl Tupper, in the 1940s. During this time, the concept of plastic containers was still rather new. So, when Mr Tupper presented customers with the patented Tupper Seal in 1949, the idea just didn’t catch on. But a few years later, this all changed, when Brownie Wise presented the company with the now-famous “party” concept. The idea was so successful, that Tupperware proceeded to only sell their products through direct sales, or what is known today as “Tupperware parties”. Tupperware South Africa came into being in 1964, and today there are more than 250 000 consultants selling high-quality plastic products to friends and family, all from the Tupperware catalogue.
Tupperware South Africa falls under the Miscellaneous category along with other stores such as AliExpress, AutoZone, Babies R Us, Baby City, Crazy Store, Edgars, PEP Stores, Sterns and Toys R Us. To purchase their products, you need to contact an Independent Tupperware consultant. You can find a distributor near you, by using the map function on their website.
