Global leader Peli reintroduces the Hardigg name to mark its most advanced tier of engineered protective technical solutions for mission-critical equipment as demand surges.
Barcelona, Spain – April 28, 2026 — Peli, the global leader in mission-critical protective solutions, today unveiled a new brand identity for its Technical Solutions division: Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions. Since the strategic merger of Peli and Hardigg in 2009, the new Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions seal will now serve as the definitive mark for the company’s most advanced tier of engineered protective packaging solutions.
Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions
Announced today, Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions represents the convergence of over 75-year combined history: Peli’s 50-years of relentless innovation and Hardigg’s 77-year heritage of precision engineering.
“At Barrett, our mission is to deliver products that define precision, reliability, and durability, and we expect the same from the companies we partner with,” said Nathan Lux, Director of Marketing & eCommerce at Barrett. “While Peli often has an existing solution that meets our needs, we’ve also had the privilege of partnering with them to create custom solutions for unique projects. This collaborative spirit underscores the fact that Peli is not just a vendor – they are a true partner. For Barrett, the relationship with Peli is about more than cases – it’s about ensuring our customers experience the same level of quality and care in every detail.”
As global demand for sophisticated protection reaches unprecedented levels—evidenced by the delivery of over one million military drone and UAS/UAV case solutions in just the last two years—Peli is expanding on its technical solutions business through increased investment in engineering expertise, manufacturing capacity and global reach.

Custom Engineering for Next-Generation Technology
Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions represents the highest tier of protective packaging engineering—where standard off-the-shelf solutions are not sufficient. The Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions division is dedicated to purpose-built, mission-critical engineering designed for complex technological requirements where failure is not an option.
From aerospace tooling and medical devices to sensitive oilfield equipment and precision instrumentation, every Peli-Hardigg solution is validated for specific mission parameters. The Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions engineering capabilities are highly flexible, managing everything from single-unit custom projects to million-unit programs. When a project requires specialized metalwork, advanced rotomoulding, or intricate interior cushioning for high-value equipment, the Peli-Hardigg certification signifies that the solution has been manufactured to the most exacting standards in the industry.
“When Peli and Hardigg Industries joined forces in 2009, we gained more than just manufacturing capabilities; we inherited a legacy of trust from the world’s most demanding users,” said Stephan Corti, Chief Commercial Officer at Peli. “The Peli-Hardigg Technical Solutions brand signals a focus on delivering the high-complexity, custom-engineered solutions that national and global partners require to protect the next generation of mission critical technology.”
