American Tourister is one of the world's most recognized luggage brands, founded in 1933 in Providence, Rhode Island, by Sol Koffler. Originally known as American Luggage Works, it aimed to produce tough, durable, and affordable suitcases for the emerging mass-travel market. Over the decades, the brand became famous for its innovative designs and humorous advertising campaigns, such as the iconic gorilla test.
In 1993, American Tourister was acquired by Samsonite, the global leader in the luggage industry. This acquisition allowed American Tourister to expand its international reach while positioning it as a vibrant, youthful, and budget-friendly alternative to the premium Samsonite brand. Today, the brand is managed under the Samsonite International S.A. umbrella, which is headquartered in Luxembourg and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Manufacturing is decentralized, taking place in multiple countries including China, India, and Hungary to serve various global markets.
