Gator Cases was founded in 2000 by father-daughter team Jerry Freed and Crystal Morris in Tampa, Florida. They launched an initial small offering of moulded plastic guitar cases at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville, Tennessee.
From there they expanded the product line to include case and bag solutions for pro audio, IT, audio visual, general utility, band instrument, and percussion. The line now consists of over 1000 different solutions that are made from vacuum-formed plastics, rotational-moulded plastics, wood, sewn, and EVA materials.
Leveraging the company’s expertise in case design and manufacturing Gator has also grown a complete OEM division that works with leading companies around the world to engineer and manufacture custom cases for original equipment manufacturers.
In 2008, Gator acquired the manufacturing facility and product line of Protechtor Cases, located in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. This new endeavour brought on shore manufacturing in rotational moulding along with expansion into the percussion market. Gator continues to invest in additional US manufacturing and expansion of this plant.
