Arai's History

History As the son of a milliner, Horitake Arai started a company in 1937 in Ohmiya, Saitama that focused on the development of head protection, marketed under the name HA (Helmet Arai). The production of an outer shell is a time-consuming process consisting of 27 steps. The total production time of an Arai helmet is 18 hours. As early as 1952 the production of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastics) helmets was started in Japan, a philosophy that is still the basic principle of every Arai car and motorcycle helmet today. Ten years later, Horitake's first son Michio Arai joined the company, focusing on the company's export business. A year later the first helmet was produced according to SNELL certification, with which the export to the USA could be started. In 1968 the first integral helmet R-6M was produced, which met the SNELL 1968 standard. Four years later, in 1971, the new Arai logo was launched, which has remained the same to this day. On June 14, 1986, founder Hirotake Arai dies and Michio Arai takes over from his father as the new President of Arai. That same year the company name is changed from 'Arai Hirotake, Limited' to 'Arai Helmet, Limited'. Michio's son Akihito Arai has also joined the company and in February 2008 - the 25th anniversary of Arai Helmet Europe - Akihito became the Managing Director of Arai Helmet Europe. For a number of years now, Ingmar Stroeven has headed Arai Helmet Europe as managing director. According to Arai a helmet offers the best protection when using a hard outer shell in combination with a soft outer shell. Among other things, the hard outer shell must prevent penetration and deformation, while the soft inner shell must absorb the impact energy. However, the production of a glass fibre shell is a time-consuming process, which explains the more expensive price compared to a soft shell polycarbonate helmet, the shell of which is automatically produced in a syringe mould.
