Calton and Hoffee merge
Just read this on Facebook post by Calton Cases. Calton and Hoffee are merging to become hXc Inc.
https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=calton%20cases The post says the merged company will also distribute Hiscox case in North America. Almost a one-stop-shop for some of the best cases out there. I use all 3.

The new name sounds like an early 2000's energy drink.

It's late, first thing that came to mind was "P90X". Then I thought about this huge rooster I had... his name was P90X or just P90.
Personally, I'm happy to see good quality cases all in one place. Come to think of it, I do need a case.

They could have done Calton + Hoffee = Coffee.
Why are they merging? Is the high-end case market too small to support two full companies?

I probably will never need or afford a Calton or Hoffee, but this is good news:
In addition, hXc will also be the North American distributor for Hiscox Cases. “Adding Hiscox Cases to our company will allow us to offer quality cases at a lower price point”, says Hoffee. “Our customers demand the best cases at any price, and the addition of Hiscox allows us to provide that”. |

Hmm, it’s April 11, so not an April fools joke, but HXC is an abbreviation for the hardcore punk sub-genre and scene.

The merger part is interesting, but the fact that Hiscox will have a North American distributor again is the real news, at least to me!

Interesting. I wonder if I can order a custom Coffee with a Calton fiberglass bottom half and a Hoffee carbon fiber top half.
I'm a super happy Hoffee owner, and I'm curious to see how the product offerings will change (if at all) going forward! |

Exactly what I was thinking, too.

Pretty cool, I like all of those three products/brands! Seems like a good move for them.

Sounds like a 'uniting' dipped in $$$$. I own 2 Caltons. Best cases ever. |
