Question: are rtic coolers made by yeti?
Answer: YETI and RTIC Coolers are not made by the same company, nor are they made in the same factories. ... Yeti launched in 2006 by Ryan and Roy Seiders in Austin, Texas and then sold a majority ownership stake to Cortec Group in 2012. RTIC Coolers wasn't started until 2015 by John and Jim Jacobsen in Cypress, Texas.
