About us

What we do: Samsonite is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and retail of premium luggage and travel accessories. Our product portfolio includes suitcases (both softside and hardside), garment bags, business cases, backpacks, and a wide range of travel accessories, serving both leisure and business travelers worldwide. We operate in the consumer goods and retail industries, consistently focusing on innovation, quality, and durability to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers[2][3].

Where we are located: Samsonite International S.A. has its registered office in Luxembourg and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Our global headquarters is located at Westerring 17, 9700 Oudenaarde, Belgium, reflecting our strong European presence and commitment to serving international markets[2].

Short history: Founded in 1910 in Denver, Colorado, by Jesse Shwayder as the Shwayder Trunk Manufacturing Company, Samsonite adopted its current name in 1965 after the success of its Samsonite-branded suitcases. The company has a rich heritage of industry firsts, including the introduction of the first suitcase with a built-in combination lock, the first lightweight luggage, and the first wheeled suitcase in 1974. Over the decades, Samsonite has expanded globally, continuously innovating with new materials and technologies to maintain its position as a market leader[1][2][3].

Organization & culture: With over 4,200 employees worldwide, Samsonite fosters a collaborative and respectful workplace culture that values integrity, creativity, and excellence. We believe every team member contributes uniquely to our collective success, and we encourage professional growth and innovation at all levels. Our core values include customer centricity, a commitment to high-quality products, and a focus on continuous improvement through real-time customer feedback and significant investment in research and development[5].

Recent developments: In recent years, Samsonite has reported strong financial performance, with 2022 revenues reaching approximately $3.2 billion and net income of $396 million, driven by a resurgence in global travel[3]. The company has launched innovative product lines featuring smart luggage technology, such as Bluetooth tracking and built-in USB ports, and continues to expand its sustainability initiatives, including the use of eco-friendly materials and the establishment of over 200 repair centers worldwide to extend product lifecycles[4][5].
