The classical design with straight vertical ribs gives it a modern and sharp impression. In order to maximize the appeal of the color, the shell surface treatment has been changed to match the body color, such as leather-like or metal-like. The natural texture that expresses the grain of the leather and the metallic texture that makes it look like carved metal bring out the best in each body color. The sensuous beauty and sophisticated Japanese aesthetics have been incorporated into this suitcase.

Ace began manufacturing Japan’s first suitcases in 1964, and has accumulated technology and know-how over more than half a century. At the Akabira factory, where these items are consolidated, suitcases are carefully assembled by a small number of state-of-the-art staff while conducting independent inspections. Although production efficiency is lower than overseas factories, we maintain an overwhelmingly low defective rate relative to the number of sales. Furthermore, we have established an “Ace Quality Control Laboratory” within our factory, and conduct strict quality control tests on a total of 8 items. In terms of technology, some of the interior fabric of typical suitcases is sewn using a sewing machine, but in many PROTECA models, cushioned urethane fabric is pasted by hand, requiring advanced technology to achieve a beautiful finish. In addition, the frame uses magnesium alloy, which is also used in racing car wheels, instead of the normally used aluminum. It is strong, lightweight, and does not easily deform at room temperature. Machining magnesium alloy frames requires advanced technology that accurately controls temperature and angle.
