Samsonite

Samsonite is a global leader in travel luggage and accessories, with a history that dates back to its founding in Denver, Colorado in 1910. Over more than a century, the company has grown from a single workshop into an internationally recognized brand, known for designing and producing luggage, business and computer bags, outdoor and casual bags, and travel accessories. A significant milestone in its expansion was the acquisition of TUMI and American Tourister, which now sit alongside the Samsonite brand at the core of its multi-brand portfolio.

As of November 2025, Samsonite operates over 1,300 company-owned retail stores worldwide. Its presence extends across more than 100 countries, supported by a strong e-commerce platform and broad wholesale distribution. The company’s growth in recent years has focused on high-traffic urban centers, airports, and key travel corridors, with particular investment in new store openings and renovations in Asia and North America. Samsonite has also prioritized digital transformation and sustainability, integrating these pillars into its ongoing strategy.

The company is publicly traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and counts Apollo Global Management among its largest institutional shareholders. Samsonite’s operational hubs are located in Luxembourg, Mansfield, Massachusetts, and Hong Kong, reflecting its global reach and ability to serve a diverse customer base. The brand’s continued expansion and commitment to innovation have helped it maintain a stable position in the competitive travel goods sector, making it a reliable and well-known tenant for a variety of retail formats, including shopping centers, airports, and travel hubs. Samsonite does not franchise its stores, ensuring consistency and control across its retail operations.
