Beckmann Norway backpack

Beckmann of Norway is a prestigious brand with a heritage dating back to 1946. Founded by Olav Beckmann in Kristiansand, Norway, the company initially focused on quality school bags designed to protect children's backs while carrying heavy school supplies. Over decades, it became Norway's most recognized brand for school backpacks, known for ergonomic designs and durable materials.

While the brand maintains its design and engineering headquarters in Norway to ensure its strict quality standards, production is primarily outsourced to manufacturing partners in Asia, specifically China and Vietnam, to meet global demand. In 2021, the brand's ownership transitioned from the Beckmann family and various investors to the Swiss-based Horizon Group, marked by an acquisition aiming to expand the brand's footprint into larger international markets like China and Central Europe.
