 PROFILE
Samsonite wants to be a traveler's best friend. The world's #1 luggage maker, the company makes softside and hardside suitcases, garment bags, and business cases under three primary brands: Samsonite, designed for business travelers; American Tourister, for leisure travelers; and Lark, for the premium market. Samsonite also licenses its name for non-luggage products and has introduced designer clothing to its product mix. Its products are available in more than 100 countries and through about 200 company-owned stores. More than half of its sales come from outside the US. Frenchman Francois Pinault directly owns about 30% of Samsonite and is affiliated with Apollo Advisors, which also has a 30% stake.
