The Samsonite Corporation makes luggage with its products ranging from large suitcases to small toiletries bags and briefcases. It was started in Denver, CO, in 1910 by Jesse Shwayder, as the Shwayder Trunk Manufacturing Company. Shwayder named one of his initial cases "Samson", after the Biblical strongman, and began using the trademark Samsonite in 1941. The company changed its name to Samsonite in 1966. For many years, a subsidiary, Samsonite Furniture Co., made folding chairs and card tables in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Samsonite made Legos under contract for the U.S. market in the 1960's and 1970's and ultimately sold the company, (Lego), back to the Danish inventors. Stan A. Clamage was instrumental in establishing the Lego brand in the United States. The Shwayder family sold the company to Beatrice Foods in 1973. Samsonite emerged from bankruptcy in 1993. The Denver factory, which employed 4,000 at its peak, closed in May 2001. Samsonite headquarters moved from Denver to Mansfield, Massachusetts, after a change of ownership in May 2005. CVC Capital Partners Ltd. in July 2007 became Samsonite's fifth owner in 21 years.
