History

Plasticase, Nanuk’s corporate entity, began manufacturing plastic cases in 1984 under Resentel Ltd., later restructuring ownership to focus on high-quality injection-molded cases. In response to demand for robust, waterproof cases, Plasticase launched the Nanuk line as 'The Evolution of Protection' for military, law enforcement, and professional use. Nanuk has supplied protective cases to military and law enforcement worldwide and announced a strategic partnership with SKB in April 2026.²³⁴
