#72: American Tourister
Original Headquarters: Providence, RI
Purchased by: Samsonite
Country: China
American Tourister, a division of Samsonite, offers crafted luggage with nearly a century’s legacy. Now produced in China, India, and Hungary, it maintains quality under Samsonite’s large umbrella, testament to global craftsmanship.

Faced with a U.S. labor shortage, Samsonite, under Astrum International’s ownership, outsourced manufacturing. Despite this, American Tourister still runs its headquarters from Rhode Island, preserving its historical roots in its birthplace.
