Nanuk is a Canadian line of protective cases and takes its name from polar bears that have adapted to thrive in unforgiving landscapes. It is part of a company that was established in 1984. When the company started, it operated under the name Resentel Ltd. and manufactured plastic cases.

When the company’s ownership was restructured a few years later, the company re-emerged with a clearer mission: to design, engineer, and produce the highest-quality injection molded cases. As the company’s reputation grew, the demand for waterproof, robust cases became evident and the Nanuk line of indestructible, waterproof cases was created. All Nanuk cases are made in Canada and can be purchased online or in-store from authorised dealers.
