Jacob Winter
German manufacturer of cases for musical instruments, these range from fairly inexpensive nylon and plastic models to high end leather, aluminium and moulded fibreglass cases that are pretty much the standard for touring classical musicians. Although mostly aimed towards classical instruments the company also has a small line aimed towards electric guitars. Jacob Winter is also a popular choice in central Europe for making custom protective cases for pro audio and video products but this is little known outside of there since these are actually made by the company's industrial division rather than the music division and all of their pro-audio/video literature and website is only available in German..
