Its reliable quality and functionality are backed by the fact that it was used in the “lunar sample container,” a bag used to bring back moon rocks during Apollo 11 in 1969. In recent years, in pursuit of weight reduction, we have adopted 5000 series aluminum alloy (*1), which is suitable for bending (*2), for the body. However, this processing method required the installation of corner guards (*3) at the four corners of the body for reinforcement, and it was necessary to change the elegant form that had been carved out of a block of aluminum that had been inherited since the company’s founding. This time, we have returned to the manufacturing methods and materials used at the time of our founding, and have once again adopted 6000 series aluminum alloy, which is suitable for press processing (*4). Although 6000 series aluminum alloy has excellent strength, there are issues with increased thickness and weight, so there is currently no other brand that uses it. However, Zero Halliburton has succeeded in reducing the body thickness to 1mm by making full use of its own processing technology. While returning to tradition, we have achieved innovative weight reduction, creating a beautiful aluminum luggage unique to Zero Halliburton. In addition, by providing highly durable aluminum luggage that can be used for a long time, we will reduce the environmental burden of a mass consumption society and contribute to sustainable manufacturing. (*1) A type of aluminum alloy containing specific components. The main component of the 5000 series is magnesium. The main components of the 6000 series are magnesium and silicon. (*2) A processing method in which metal is formed using a bending machine. (*3) A reinforcing material attached to protect the corners. (*4) A processing method in which metal is forced into a mold and molded.

A one-of-a-kind aluminum luggage made using the manufacturing methods and materials used at the time of our founding The body is again made of 6000 series aluminum alloy, which is stronger than 5000 series. This material has been avoided in the market because its high strength makes it thicker and heavier, and it is difficult to process. However, Zero Halliburton has succeeded in reducing the body thickness to just 1.0mm by making full use of its unique processing technology and precise heating temperature control. A highly durable and lightweight aluminum luggage has been completed.
