“Twenty-five years ago, we united two brands that represent the essence of what it means to be proudly made in America,” said Mark Paup, President and CEO, Zippo and Case. “With more than two centuries of history between them, Zippo and Case have been intertwined into some of this country’s most significant moments, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what the future has in store as both brands continue to grow.”

Since joining the Zippo family of brands, Case has seen numerous significant and notable landmarks. In 2014, the brand celebrated its 125th anniversary with a nearly $10 million renovation of their Bradford-based factory. The renovations included a complete remodel of the factory that was originally constructed in 1975, including new equipment and floor configurations that allowed for better efficiency, productivity and quality.

In May 2018, Case unveiled its new website, caseknives.com, to help create a seamless user experience and offer expanded e-commerce opportunities for consumers. In addition to significantly enhanced search capabilities, the new website also provides a level of personalization not previously offered by the brand.
