Calzone & Anvil Case Company Our Mission: To build the highest quality custom case in the world, at a fair price with on time delivery. The Calzone Case Co. has been manufacturing cases since the mid 1970′s. With roots in the Rock & Roll business, the company and product line have branched out into virtually any and all markets imaginable. In 1952, the “Acme Pak” Company was formed to fill a need to package precision instruments. After World War II, it was determined that over 40 percent of war materials shipped overseas were damaged or rendered useless due to improper packaging. Originally formed as a division of Acme Pak, the first Anvil cases were designed for traveling musicians who, in the mid 1950′s, turned to electric instruments and sound systems, which were far more prone to damage in transit than their acoustic predecessors. Calzone’s acquisition of Anvil Cases in May 1996 from the ZERO Corporation, a publicly held company, doubled the size of the combined Calzone Companies. This combination would comprise the nucleus of the largest fabricated case manufacturer in the world. Led by founder and president Joe Calzone, the Anvil Case Division began its resurgence as the acknowledged world leader. Combined with the three Calzone manufacturing facilities throughout the USA, the Calzone & Anvil Case Company team represents the largest fabricated case manufacturer in the world.
