History
Brendan Lindsay founded Sistema Plastics from his home in Cambridge, New Zealand in 1987. The company name Sistema comes from the Italian word for system.[4] The company is focused on BPA-free plastic kitchen storage containers under the brand names KLIP IT and Klipo.
Newell Brands bought the company in 2017 for NZ$660 million (US$470 million).[5]
In November 2024, Sistema Plastics confirmed that it would lay off about 100 workers at its Auckland factory by Christmas 2024.[6]
