About us
The Miners Lunchbox has been manufactured over the past 60 years in Canada. Our tough lunchboxes have been handmade and hard working ever since 1956.

Our Miners Lunchbox is hand crafted from high grade aluminum, making it visually indestructible, very practical, and so lightweight. Once you get your hands on a Miners Lunchbox, you own one for life. A retro style, eco lunch packaging product with many uses. The metal lunchbox isn’t just for miners. It’s handmade tough, for you. Simple, durable design, inspired by the past and perfect for the present.

👨👧👦 Happy Father's Day from the L.May Team! In the photo is Catherine, Leo May's daughter. Every day, we work together to uphold Leo's legacy. Creating an heirloom product means making something that people will use not just this year, but 50 or even 100 years from now. Every #LMAYDAD is creating a legacy, with some honoring their family's history by carrying their father's, grandfather's, or uncle's lunchbox. Feel proud to be an #LMAYDAD. #FathersDay #Legacy #LMAYLunchbox #FamilyTradition #LMAY

This is Leo May, the inventor of the iconic miner's lunchbox, manufactured in Canada for over 65 years. 🧰 Leo's journey began when he arrived in Sudbury during a major hiring boom in the mines. His lunchboxes quickly became the standard for the mining and construction industry, with 100% of INCO’s 20,000 workers proudly carrying an L. May lunchbox. 🍁 👨👧Daughter Catherine inherited Leo's legacy when he passed away in April 2004. Catherine keeps her father's first lunchbox, a family heirloom, up to the present moment. ⭐An L. May lunchbox that survives the test of time is a beautiful keepsake. Our lunchboxes have accompanied the family stories retold and passed from generation to generation. #lunchbox #supportlocal #canadianbusiness #ontariobusiness #minerslunchbox #miners #sudbury #sudburybusiness #quality #greatersudbury #mining #corporategifting #lunchboxideas #madeincanada #canadianproud #father

Here's to the power of community, dedication, and the shared vision of making our city a better place. Let's continue to support each other and strive for excellence!
