Pelican was founded in 1976 by Dave Parker in a Torrance, California garage. An avid Scuba diver since age 11, Parker recognized the need for rugged flashlights and cases that wouldn’t leak or fail. So he set out to build a better product than any other on the market. With years of hard work and sacrifice, Pelican™ Products became a reality with its first product patent, the Pelican Float.  The legendary SabreLite™ flashlights and Protector™ Cases soon followed.

Pelican’s product line and company grew steadily over the years and, in 2004, the company was acquired by private equity firm Behrman Capital. Shortly thereafter, the company experienced an incredible growth trend under a new CEO, Lyndon Faulkner, who was appointed in 2005. With a rich and diverse background, Faulkner came to Pelican Products from Microsoft Corporation where he served as North American Operations Manager helping to launch industry-changing products such as the XBOX®, Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2000. Additionally he built the compact-disc manufacturing pioneer Technicolor®/ Nimbus into an IPO as they introduced the world to digital media with compact discs (CDs) and digital video discs (DVDs).
