Helmet 28 adds
Germany to Racer
Gloves territory list
Specialist UK distributor Helmet
28 has moved to further
develop its plans to be a
leading European distributor of
motorcycle products by signing
a multi-year distribution
contract for Germany with
French manufacturer Racer
Gloves.
George Richardson, CEO of
Helmet 28, told IDN that "Racer
Gloves is a brand synonymous
with innovation and style that
solely focuses on creating and
manufacturing highly
specialised gloves over a
growing range of sporting
disciplines, including a market
leading heated motorcycle
glove range.
"Working in collaboration with
expert suppliers and using the
latest innovative materials,
including D3O impact
protection, Racer are able to
produce gloves that are a long
way ahead of other brands in
terms of their advanced
construction and safety
features.
"We already distribute the
Racer brand in the UK. Adding
Germany, one of the largest
European markets, to our
territory list is a real honour and
a sign of Racer’s trust in Helmet
28. There is a formidable
relationship forming and I am
delighted to embark upon
expansion into the German
market with such an exciting
product – one which has proven
immensely popular with dealers
in the UK market."
