Where is Samsonite made?

Production. Forty percent of all Samsonite hard luggage is manufactured at its plant in Nashik, India. Samsonite has two assembly plants in Hungary. Samsonite currently has a Better Business Organization rating of 'F', primarily because of Customer Service.



In 2026, Samsonite has a highly diversified global manufacturing footprint, but India has recently become its largest manufacturing base. The company’s massive factory in Nashik, India, has tripled its capacity to 700,000 units per month, surpassing its traditional European hubs. While India handles a huge volume of the "hard-side" and "soft-side" luggage for the global market, Samsonite still maintains significant production facilities in Hungary and Belgium, which primarily focus on their high-end, "Made in Europe" Curv® material collections. Additionally, like most major luggage brands, a significant portion of their mass-market inventory and "American Tourister" sub-brand products are manufactured in China and Vietnam. When you purchase a Samsonite bag, the "Made in" label will vary depending on the specific model: premium, lightweight hardshells often come from Europe, while the heavy-duty polycarbonate and fabric lines increasingly originate from their expanded Indian and Southeast Asian facilities to meet the growing demand of the 2026 travel boom.
