Émile Delahaye and the Seynhaeve brothers joined forces in 1946, combining their names to create the Delsey brand.

[4] Delsey made use of its experience in the production of camera and record player cases to form a department specializing in travel items in moulded plastic.

[citation needed] In early 2015, Delsey unveiled a prototype "smart suitcase" called Pluggage, containing built-in electronic gadgets which communicate with a smartphone app.

Features include a weighing scale, locator beacon, wireless speaker, remote locking, and phone charger.

[5] This is similar to the competing Airbus Bag2Go and Bluesmart cases which are being developed at the same time as Delsey's product.
