Tupperware, the lossmaking 78-year-old American plastic food container brand, has filed for bankruptcy and is on the hunt for new owners as it attempts to lure younger customers.
The company, which was founded by the chemist Earl Tupper in 1946 and became known for its patented “burping” seal, has started US chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings as bosses said that its finances had been “severely impacted” by the economic environment.
Tupperware became famous in the 1950s and 1960s when sales representatives, mostly women, held Tupperware parties to sell its range of plastic containers. For many, it was an opportunity to earn extra money for their households on a flexible schedule that did not require a full-time job outside the home.
