TRUST FOR THE LONG HAUL

Gemstar® Protective Hard Cases is a custom engineering solutions provider with over 55 years of manufacturing experience and protective packaging knowledge. A family-owned business supported internally by dedicated, long-term employees, Gemstar has a deep history rooted in custom, made-to-order-manufacturing, including custom OEM parts. Gemstar products are built in America, and are designed and engineered for the toughest, most demanding, and technical jobs out there. No matter the size, no matter the weight, no matter the unique parameters of the project, Gemstar has the capabilities and deep expertise to create a solution that will meet the most exacting industrial and military specifications. This is why the company’s hard cases are entrusted by the United States Military as well as by customers in aerospace, heavy industry, medical, communications, and more, to package, protect, and transport their high-value assets.

 

GEMSTAR HARD CASES ARE MADE IN THE USA

Gemstar manufactures all of its products in their fully modernized, state-of-the-art facility in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. This hands-on control from design-to-build enables the company to meet stringent industry and military requirements that the toughest applications in the world demand. In fact, their cases and custom foam have been trusted to protect electronics for WIN-T, Abrams, Stryker, C5ISR, MRAP,  and NASA, as well as to transport critical military vehicle repair and maintenance kits, and house naval wireless communication systems. And because their hard cases are made right here on American soil, this makes Gemstar an ideal partner to help diversify and strengthen supply lines. Check out the video above to learn more about Gemstar’s process, people, values, and their stated commitment to building a better hard case company. 

 

STRONGHOLD: A FORTRESS FOR HIGH-VALUE ASSETS


ROTATIONALLY MOLDED, AIRTIGHT, WATERTIGHT, DOUBLE-WALLED LONG LIFE REUSABLE CONTAINERS

Maximum security means maximum peace of mind. That’s the thinking Gemstar has applied to its most rugged, durable line of hard cases: Stronghold. These heavy-duty, ultra-rugged,  ultra-secure, double-walled hard cases are built to keep the most valuable assets safe, dry, and secure. Stronghold cases are designed and engineered to be virtually indestructible, and built to stand up to edge drops, lateral impacts, vibrations, extreme temperatures, moisture and just  about anything else thrown their way. Made with GSR™ high-performance resin. With over 100 sizes and configurations, and growing, Stronghold cases deliver uncompromising protection.

GEMSTAR INVESTS IN THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

To maintain its position on the leading edge of solution and product design company, Gemstar is constantly investing in new technologies, its facilities, and manufacturing equipment to better serve its customers. The company’s exclusive Robomolding (Robotic Rotational Molding) technology is evidence of this commitment. Robomolding creates high tolerances with precision-distributed heat and material control for consistent part repeatability and optimized strength-to-weight ratios. For these reasons and more, Robomolding technology is ideal for military, OEM, industrial and commercial applications where precision and unsurpassed repeatability are key. Gemstar’s continuous investment in technologies, tooling, and equipment has allowed it to expand its core capabilities, as it now has the capacity and expertise to create fully custom engineered solutions for its customers.


RIGOROUSLY TESTED TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME

Gemstar’s protective hard cases are built for the long haul, and are engineered to meet the tightest industrial and military standards, including IP67 Waterproof, IPX7 Dustproof, ASTM 4169 Drop & Vibration Test and MIL STD 810. This rigorous testing methodology is a good example of the lengths Gemstar will go to ensure its hard cases are built to perform in some of the most challenging and inhospitable environments on the planet. Check out the video below to learn more about the company’s rigorous in-house testing program. 


FINALLY, A HARD CASE COMPANY THAT’S EASY TO WORK WITH. 

Beyond the quality of its hard cases and custom engineered solutions, Gemstar has been built upon the foundational idea that its customers always come first. They take tremendous pride in their responsiveness and have a genuine passion for working directly with its distributors and users to help solve their toughest and most unique challenges. Not merely as a vendor, but as a trusted partner. Because at the end of the day, Gemstar wants to make the experience of buying their hard cases just as great as the cases themselves.
