🇯🇵 Heritage of Excellence: The Origins of Innovation and Travel

A Vision from Tokyo to the World (1964)

ECHOLAC was founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1964 by Mr. Reizo Koseki. Driven by a vision to revolutionize the travel experience through cutting-edge innovation and backed by the technological prowess of Kodama Chemical (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation), ECHOLAC quickly emerged as a true leader in advanced material science.

Pioneering "The World’s First"

Just one year after its inception, in 1965, ECHOLAC made global history by creating the world’s first ABS attaché case. This breakthrough was a major turning point for the travel industry, introducing a new standard of durability and lightweight performance that remains an industry benchmark to this day.

Over 60 Years of The Art of Craftsmanship

For over six decades, ECHOLAC has remained dedicated to the spirit of "Monozukuri"—the Japanese art of meticulous manufacturing. Every detail is crafted with precision, blending Timeless Elegance with modern functionality. Today, we continue to serve travelers worldwide who seek the perfect harmony of sophisticated style and uncompromising quality.
