Airprotek Adds Line of Helmets

Newbury Park-based startup Airprotek International Inc. has inked a deal to distribute power-sports safety products manufactured by Zicen Corp. The first products to come under the deal, which involves Zicen’s Asian manufacturing facilities, are a line of motorcycle and scooter helmets. Airprotek has been marketing its line of airbag safety jackets and vests in the U.S. The products use proprietary airbag technology to cushion the wearer. They are meant for motorcycle riders and equestrians. In the event of a fall or collision the airbag inflates, reducing the risk to the wearer. The helmets manufactured by Zicen, a company based in Korea, will be designed to match the design of the Airprotek jackets and vests.
