Peli is a brand specializing in the production of durable, waterproof, and shock-resistant protective cases and advanced lighting equipment. The company was founded in 1976 in the USA by Dave Parker, a diving enthusiast who decided to create reliable products for divers and professionals working in challenging conditions.
Origin and History of the Peli Brand
The Peli brand originates from the United States, with its beginnings dating back to the mid-1970s. The founders were Dave and Arline Parker, who started their business in 1976 in Torrance, California, as a mail-order company offering innovative products for divers. The first patented product was the Pelican Float, and in the following years, the company introduced products such as the SabreLite flashlight and the famous Protector Case.
The 1990s saw dynamic growth, with the launch of their own production lines and the start of international expansion, opening branches in Europe (Spain), Canada, and Australia. In 2004, the company was acquired by an investment fund, accelerating its global growth. Today, the brand is present in over 20 countries, with numerous sales offices and production facilities on several continents.
