www.samsonite.deÜber einen Zeitraum von mehr als 100 Jahren produziert Samsonite Reisegepäck und Taschen, um das mobile Leben so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Seit der Gründung im Jahre 1910 durch den aus Colorado stammenden Unternehmer Jesse Shwayder behauptet Samsonite mit seinen einzigartigen und stilvollen Lösungen eine weltweite Führungsposition auf dem hoch frequentierten Markt für Reisegepäck. Die Marke blickt auf eine lange Tradition zurück und steht für wegweisende Entwicklungen im Bereich Design und Technologie. Eine der jüngsten und eindrucksvollsten Innovationen, die in der europäischen Zentrale in Belgien vorangetrieben wurden, ist die Verarbeitung des revolutionären CURV®-Materials zu Kofferschalen – zum Beispiel für die im Jahr 2008 eingeführte und inzwischen preisgekrönte Serie Cosmolite™. In 2011 erweitert Samsonite sein Sortiment u.a. um das äußerst leichte Weichgepäck B-Lite fresh™ und um Cubelite, eine weitere Serie aus CURV. So gelingt es Samsonite, heute nicht nur seinen leichtesten Hartschalenkoffer aller Zeiten anzubieten, sondern auch sein bisher mit Abstand leichtestes Weichgepäck.
