Brand Story

Hi, I’m Mary Wu, Founder & CEO of Prliy.

My journey with drinkware didn’t begin in a factory — it began in everyday life.

I’ve always liked carrying a bottle that truly felt right. But time after time, I found myself bothered by the same small frustrations: hot tea cooling too quickly, cold drinks losing their freshness, materials subtly affecting the taste of water, and the quiet uncertainty of long-term safety.

They weren’t big problems — just small, repeated inconveniences. But over time, they turned into something more: a simple but persistent idea — what if a water bottle could just work, exactly the way it should?

In 2010, I started my career in sales, stepping directly into the fast-moving world of products and markets. Through years of hands-on experience, I came to understand something clearly: the true quality of a bottle doesn’t lie in how it looks — but in what you don’t immediately see.

Material safety. Thermal performance. Structural reliability.

That realization led me to shift my focus into manufacturing. In Zhejiang, we built our own production system from the ground up — controlling every step, from raw material selection to process refinement. Because I knew that the real value of a product lives in the details users rarely notice, but always experience.

In 2013, the establishment of our overseas warehouse in the United States allowed us to better serve customers in Europe and North America — with faster delivery, higher standards, and a deeper understanding of real market needs.

In 2015, our independent R&D capabilities took shape, and the Prliy brand was born. From that point on, we focused not just on manufacturing, but on experience:

Food-grade 316 stainless steel for safer, cleaner drinking Vacuum insulation technology to maintain ideal temperatures longer Recyclable packaging as part of our environmental responsibility

Every Prliy bottle is built with intention — combining functionality, reliability, and a sense of quiet care.

Today, after more than 15 years of dedication, our products are used by customers in over 50 countries. We’ve built long-term partnerships with global brands and worked alongside manufacturing partners to push the industry toward higher standards of professionalism and sustainability.

Making something as simple as a water bottle — and making it well, consistently, and responsibly —

That has always been our commitment. And it still is.
