Founded more than 70 years ago, the small luggage store "Shinkawa Yanagisaku Shoten" has gradually developed into the largest luggage group in Japan, Ace, and in 2006, it acquired the American high-end luggage brand Zero Halliburton, and continued to lay out its globalization process. Proteca is a new luggage brand launched by Ace Group on its 41st anniversary, and it has only been established for more than a decade, but it has been popular with consumers for its high quality, ease of use and stylish appearance.
 
All Proteca suitcases are manufactured at the Akadaira factory in Hokkaido, which has a history of more than 50 years, and undergo eight rigorous tests before they are officially launched on the market. The case is made of a blend of PC and ABS resin with excellent impact resistance and light weight, and although the material is not as strong and impact-resistant as pure aluminum-magnesium alloy and pure PC, it is more than enough to cope with daily travel activities.
 
In addition, the design of the details of the suitcase also adds a lot of color to it. The BEARON WHEEL casters are made of impact-absorbing αGEL® and chrome steel bearings, and are equipped with the self-developed Silent Caster® noise reduction technology to achieve both stability and quietness. The inside of the grip handle is angled, so that the fingers fit naturally for a comfortable grip and reduce fatigue. The interior of the suitcase is made of Copper Stopper® jacquard fabric, which has certain antibacterial properties and anti-odor effect.
 
In contrast to some brands that only design suitcases for a specific target group, the Proteca product range is more extensive and therefore suitable for a wide range of people. Whether you're looking for a suitcase that's light to carry and plenty of capacity, or you're looking for a sleek and versatile suitcase, Proteca has something for everyone. Precisely because travelers have different needs, Proteca's suitcases are clearly defined and easy to understand.
 
Aeroflex Light is a lightweight luggage case launched by Proteca in September 2018, the case is made of PP and glass fiber composite materials, the structure is suitable for flexion and extension to moderate the impact of the upper and lower truss-like panels, the 37-liter capacity cabin suitcase weighs only 1.7kg, 0.1kg lighter than Samsonite's "light" shell case, and costs about $570-670.
 
Airports or stations have a large flow of people, and the design of traditional suitcases generally needs to be placed flat before they can be retrieved, which is inconvenient in narrow spaces. Proteca has developed the Dual Open System, which folds the box with a snap lock on one side when it is opened, so that you can easily handle your luggage without worrying about the direction of the suitcase. The 360S series adopts a structure that can be opened both vertically and horizontally, and the interior is a centralized storage mode for one side of luggage, which reduces unnecessary space and is very convenient to open or close suitcases at airports or in narrow spaces.
 
In view of the situation that the universal wheel suitcase is difficult to tow or easy to "slip" in crowded places, Proteca has launched the Free Walker D and Step Walker series suitcases, equipped with 50mm or 70mm large-diameter casters, with 4 wheels of walking, 2 wheels of horizontal pulling, and 2 wheels of vertical pulling. Easy to glide in various occasions such as airport halls and inclined venues. The patented 3WAY travel handle is also easy to grip when walking longitudinally on 2 wheels, helping to hold the box and not leave the body easily.
 
Business people recommend the Maxpass series suitcase, which is basically designed for direct boarding, with a weight of about 3.2-4kg, a capacity of up to 40 liters, and a front open pocket that can be frequently taken out or loaded into a laptop, documents, pens and small items at any time, which can fully meet the needs of business travel equipment. The Maxpass Smart is equipped with an additional mobile battery that can be charged anytime, anywhere, and has a tracking function that links with your smartphone, and the Maxpass Biz Smart is also equipped with LED lights to make it safer to travel at night. Of course, the series is not cheap, with the base Maxpass H2s costing around $583 and the Maxpass Biz costing around $644.
 
At present, Proteca has not yet opened an official online store in China, but it has offline stores in Shanghai, Beijing, Baoding, Hebei Province and Zhengzhou, Henan Province, etc., where friends can go and shop.
