Did you know…
…what custom-made flightcases are?
To transport large items safely and securely, special boxes are often used, so-called flightcases. The term itself originates from aircraft technology, but our ML cases are being used in a wide variety of fields, for transporting for example musical instruments, desktops, spotlights, medical or electronical equipment – for more than 30 years now! The important thing is to protect the content of the case against shocks, hits, rain or the access of unauthorized persons.
…that custom-made flightcases are our passion?
We produce cases for our customers, according to their wishes and requirements and a love for detail that is the core of ML-Case’s philosophy.

There is almost nothing that is impossible for us. And in fact: there is almost nothing that we haven’t put in a case yet.
