MUSIC Instrument Cases & Gig Bags OurOurO StoryStory In 1977, two ambitious college students developed the first SKB case in a small Anaheim, California garage. Today, SKB Cases is known around the world as the leading innovator and manufacturer of the finest musical instrument and equipment cases. Since the inception of our company, in addition to SKB branded products, leading companies have proudly supplied SKB cases for protection of their own prod- ucts. SKB builds cases for four different major markets (Music/Pro AV, Sports, Industrial and Military) and that diversity allows us to be more creative and innovative in our case designs across the board. We have a true sense of accomplishment for more than 35 years of steady growth and for an adherence to quality standards that has made us industry leaders. We never lose sight of the fact that our customers give us the opportunity to excel and we are grateful for their trust and loyalty. We remain dedicated to the assurance that every case with a SKB logo has been manufactured with an unconditional commitment to unsurpassed quality. Pictured above from left to right: SKB Owners/Founders - Dave Sanderson and Steve Kottman Injection-Mold USA This is SKB’s latest venture in our quest to provide the most innovative hard shell case products. Injection molding is an expensive investment and there is no room for error. Made with extreme pressure, even the smallest injection molded part requires a very large and heavy mold. SKB has molds that weigh almost 30,000lbs! Many of our parts, such as our patented trigger latches are produced by the injection mold process. Our iSeries cases include a gasket that makes the case watertight and dust proof. Our latest injection molded cases for guitars and basses are very popular with touring musicians. These cases have dual lives as they are also used for military weapons. Never before has an ATA flight case been One of our Injection Molders in action so lightweight, yet so advanced. Roto-Mold In 1997, SKB invested in roto-mold machinery that is ideal for making larger cases and cylindrical cases. The PE* roto-mold material starts as a fine powder that is measured according to the size of the case. The material is then sealed up in a multi-piece aluminum mold and fixed on a biaxial rotating wheel. The material is heated at 800 degrees in a very large oven while constantly rotating. The powder melts and coats the Pictured: Molds rotating during production. inside of the mold and after cooling, the cast is disassembled and the case is removed. Roto-Molding is great for providing maximum protec- tion and can withstand maximum impact in transport. *Polyethylene (PE) Vacuum-Form Also known as thermal form, this was the first and most recognized “SKB Style” case. This method is very popular for guitar or band instru- ment cases. In 1990, SKB developed the first vacuum formed rack case. ABS* or PE* is formed into solid sheets of material. The sheets are heat- ed and are vacuum formed around aluminum castings, thus taking the shape of the mold. The edges have the distinctive aluminum valance that provides rigid construction as well as a secure fit.
