The history of Tupperware dates back to 1937 when chemist and inventor Earl Silas Tupper worked in DuPont's Chemical plant, experimenting with plastic. He developed a way to purify petroleum based by-product into substance that was flexible, tough, non-porous, non greasy, odourless and translucent.
In the late 1940s, a woman named Brownie Wise, a single mother with no formal sales training, began selling Tupperware products through home parties with huge success.
Since then Tupperware Parties became a cultural phenomenon. The home party plan remains the core of our business, providing customer better services and offering individual with exciting experience and attractive business opportunity.
