Lock & Lock (Korean: 락앤락) is a household products company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. Since its establishment in 1978, Lock & Lock has been exporting products to 119 countries worldwide.

The company has a wide range of product categories for food containers, cookware, tumblers and water bottles.

In addition, the company has 11 overseas sales units including in Germany, United States, China, Vietnam, and 87 overseas directly operated stores in the world.[1]

Products and Innovation

Lock & Lock's initial success came from the development of the four-side locking system for airtight containers, which was designed to be leak-proof. Over time, its product range expanded to include heat-resistant glass containers, stainless steel cookware, eco-friendly tumblers made from Tritan plastic, and diverse kitchen and home storage goods. The company reportedly launches hundreds of new products annually.[2]

Campaigns

Love For Planet Campaign

By recycling the collected airtight containers, 'upcycling eco-bag' was introduced to practice continuous resource circulation. Terracycle and Lock&Lock also collected and recycled tumblers to produce Jeju Olle-gil benches.[3]

Terracycle and Lock&Lock collaborate together to bring plastic airtight containers that are left unattended or old in the house to the store, and they will be given a coupon to purchase certain products at a discount.[4]
