SHOEI PRODUCTION & QUALITY ASSURANCE
For all the energy and passion that are invested in the development of a product, the same level of care and due diligence must be achieved during
the production process. The following insight explains the individual processes that ultimately results in the unique quality of SHOEI helmets
SHELL MOLDING
SHOEI exclusively uses fiber-reinforced plastics that offer the best
properties for the production of a helmet shell. Thanks to many
years of experience and highly specialized employees, SHOEI is
in a position to produce helmet shells that are extremely strong
and light weight. Each helmet shell is marked personally by the
employee who is responsible for it. The employee puts his or her
name on the line by endorsing the quality of each and every helmet.
LASER CUTTING
Here the helmet is given its final shape. All the protrusions
that area created in manufacturing are cut off. The openings
for the shield and ventilation are burnt into the helmet shell
with a laser. Finally, the helmet is checked to ensure that it
has the correct material thickness and weight.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
The ventilation sliders, shield seals, inner shell,
and padding are assembled with great care. Each
helmet passes a detailed final inspection before
being passed on to the consumer. This strict
compliance with the production processes
and associated quality control guarantees the
consistently high SHOEI quality.
PAINTING
In though many production steps have been
automated today, it is still critical that some processes
are done by hand. SHOEI combines handwork and
automation in production to ensure optimal quality.
