Made in Orange, California Since 1977
SKB Corporation was founded in 1977 in Anaheim, California and relocated its manufacturing to Orange, California, where the company has operated ever since. SKB built its reputation producing hard-shell instrument cases for musicians who needed reliable protection for guitars, keyboards, and studio equipment on the road.
The Orange facility houses 16 massive injection-molding machines that produce every SKB case domestically. The company's polypropylene copolymer resin — a proprietary formula engineered for impact resistance and temperature stability — is processed at the Orange factory into the interlocking shell halves that make SKB cases some of the most durable available.
TSA-Ready and Tour-Proven
SKB's iSeries cases carry TSA-approved locking latches that allow Transportation Security Administration inspection without damaging the lock mechanism — a critical feature for touring musicians. The trigger-latch system on the iSeries provides one-handed opening while maintaining a positive seal that meets IP67 waterproof standards.
From guitar-shaped cases designed to protect vintage instruments on cargo flights to Mil-Standard waterproof utility cases for electronics and gear, SKB's Orange manufacturing serves professional musicians, broadcast professionals, law enforcement, and military users who cannot afford case failure. Every case is designed, manufactured, assembled, and finished in Orange, California — a commitment SKB has maintained for nearly fifty years.
