Description
Slik was founded in 1948 in suburban Tokyo. The original name, ALPS, was changed in 1956 to "Slick Elevator Tripod Co." The manual crank shaft of the tripods made were fashioned after elevator cranks. The name was changed again to "Slik" in 1974, dropping the "c."
No, Slik is not going back to Slick with a “c.” Rather, we designed a graphic as an ode to the original and to celebrate Slik's 70-plus year history.
