Kingport is one of the leading manufacturers and importers of luggage, business cases, wallets, locks and travel goods. Established in 1974, today it has headquarters in two new locations in the Chicago area with branch offices in the Far East. Distribution warehouses are located on various sites in the Midwest as well as direct import distribution from the Far East.

Kingport produces a wide-range of travel products using such materials as Full Grain American Cowhides, Ballistic Nylon, Polyester, Canvas and Imitation Leather. All items are either designed by Kingport's Staff and produced according to Kingport's specifications or designed by Kingport’s customers and produced on a private label confidential basis on behalf of those customers. Kingport has partnered with its Far Eastern factories for over 30 years. Kingport is proud to have supported their growth and helped them become leaders in their industry.

Many of Kingport's innovative designs are readily recognizable in the Business / Travel Trade and more than 25 products have been granted and are protected by U.S. and International Patents. Its various collections are being sold under the trademarks "Kluge", "File-It", "Silverado", "St. Moritz" and "Louis Philippe".

In 2002, Kingport reinvented itself by creating two separate entities, each with its own unique talents, capabilities and personnel.
