What's up with Pelican operating under 2 business names?

Due to legal restrictions in Europe (another company owns the rights), we came up with the name "Peli" in Europe. Our customers here can rest assured that Peli-branded equipment cases and lights are the same quality products, manufactured in the same location, and with the same Unconditional Guarantee, as those from the US Manufacturer.

Oddly enough they're being marketed here as Peli as well and we're definitely not EU! :thumbsup:

I found it by accident. I was curious as well.

Hm, I did find something about how if you buy it under the Peli name it's almost twice the price as the Pelican name. That article blamed shipping costs but who knows.

Who needs luggage when you can travel to the US with a shoulder bag and leave with some nice new Pelican "luggage" You might as well leave with another Pelican case full of lights too. Your wallet will never be the same again!!! oo:
