About SKB
SKB’s unique styling, use of the highest quality materials and engineering expertise are the result of many years of research and development by the principle owners of the company. Today, Dave Sanderson and Steve Kottman run SKB Corporation's more than 500 employees in 3 manufacturing facilities around the clock, in order to meet global demand. SKB manufactures cases for military, industrial and commercial industries.
- SKB Cases are manufactured of ultra-high molecular
Polyethylene. This unique material was originally specified by
the military for use in weapons cases, due to the fact that it
is impervious to solvents, fuels and toxic liquids. This material is essentially indestructible, molds easily under heat, and forms an "impenetrable shield", protecting whatever it contains.
- SKB utilizes aluminum valance material for its strength
and lightweight characteristics on all closures, with a special
"slot" for a custom fitted Neoprene gasket that assists in
sealing out moisture. Valance bending is done in
house to assure a perfect fit.
- Rack mount cases utilize aluminum rack frames, and include
specially designed mounting hardware for the installation of equipment. The Shockrack interior rack frame is a proprietary
design with both front and rear rack rails, and an exclusive
shock-spring mechanism engineered by SKB. The shock-spring
concept originated from a missile carrying case SKB built for
the military.
- All riveting on SKB cases utilizes steel backing plates to
prevent pulling through the plastic material. This attention to detail is one of many factors that make SKB cases superior to
all others.
- Handles, wheels, D-rings, exterior feet, cam-action locking
latches and butterfly clamps are heavy-duty, and are covered under the exclusive SKB Lifetime Warranty, unless abused.
Some handles and latches are manufactured by SKB from
plastic "regrind". Plus SKB has their own casting facility for
making latches and hardware.
