Vemar was founded in 1975 in Grosseto Italy (in
beautiful Tuscany) to produce fiberglass tanks to preserve
wine, oil and water for professional and domestic use.
In 1987, one of the original Vemar partners, Riccardo
Simoni, established the helmet department based on the
company's 10+ of experience working with fiberglass and
composite materials. This division spun off in 1992 into
its own company, Vemar Helmets.
Focused from "day-one" on technical development,
quality materials and production methods, Mr. Simoni
put into practice his experience and knowledge
of composite fibers and soon, by focusing this
development plan on product comfort, light weight and
safety, Vemar Helmets was able to produce Kevlar,
Carbon and multicomposite products, (Tri-composites)
with superior liners and in the quintessential Italian
style making itself the largest and most experienced
European manufacturer of composite helmets.
From the first building, smaller than 1800 square feet,
the company has grown to today's 270,000 square foot
facility, that sells the Vemar brand in over 40 countries.
Every Vemar helmet is engineered to the motorcyclist
specific EC-22.05 standard in addition to the USA's
DOT standard at Vemar's Italian technical laboratory.
Additionally all Vemar helmets are also subjected to third
party testing at the Los Angeles based test laboratory of
Collision and Injury Dynamics, Inc. Value is the hallmark
and key feature of the Vemar range.
