Bred to survive the American Midwest oil fields in 1938, Zero Halliburton was the first to introduce travelers to the strength and security of aluminium cases.
The original ‘Halliburton’ aluminium travel cases were hand made for Earle P. Halliburton’s personal use. A globetrotting oil field engineer by trade, Halliburton was often disappointed with luggage that failed to protect his wardrobe and documents when exposed to the harsh conditions of extreme dirt, heat and dust.
Drawing upon the engineering knowledge of his staff, Halliburton guided the development of the world’s first aluminium cases. These unique cases, equipped with smooth sides and an air-tight sealed gasket kept moisture, dirt and dust out.
The distinguished look and unsurpassed durability of Zero Halliburton cases have led to unique opportunities. Over the years, its cases have appeared in over 300 films and TV shows including Lost, Mission Impossible, Inception, Ocean’s Eleven, Men in Black and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
In addition, Zero Halliburton provided slightly modified cases to NASA in 1969 to use on Apollo 11. The aluminium cases were used to safely carry moon rocks back to Earth.
