The activities of the Nolan Group companies - mainly
the production of protective motorcycling helmets - began in the early
1970s, when it was decided that innovative plastic materials with
significant mechanical performance would be used.
The partnership between a pre-existing company operating in the car and
motorcycle accessories sector and a prestigious multinational producer of
raw materials gave rise to a then limited line of products geared towards
motorcycle use, boasting competitive prices and enduring quality.
Throughout its more than 30-year history, the Group has raised the standard
of its products considerably, has broadened its range and has encouraged the
honing of increasingly sophisticated materials. Technological research, a
determined approach to production and stylish designs have all contributed
to spreading the word of the Nolan brand throughout the world's major
markets.
Indeed, our commercial links have become more and more structured over time,
and today we have the assurance of a sales network covering more than 70
countries worldwide!
MADE IN
ITALY, MADE IN NOLAN:
The masterminding of new products, along with the proper handling of the
development processes, are among the most fundamental features of our
company. A large part of our efforts and resources go into enhancing the
quality of every single product, in terms of safety, performance and
comfort.
We have a laboratory within the
company which is considered qualified by the Italian Ministry of Transport
and ensures that regulatory compliance testing is carried out. The products
are later sent to third party laboratories for approval. Once approval has
been given, line production begins in conjunction with constant and thorough
checks on every single component.
The final product is also tested through destructive tests on random samples
to ascertain compliance with international standards. Nolan has always
submitted its products to additional tests, not required by current
regulations: the helmet most extreme operating conditions are submitted to
laboratory-simulation, thus ensuring the highest standards of quality.
The company uses a quality management system (ISO 9001:2000) allowing us to
improve the various processes from design and development through to
production and sales. All Nolan products are guaranteed for 5 years, from
the date of purchase, against any defect arising from materials or the
manufacturing process.
For Nolan races are synonymous
with research and communication. Indeed, every single product is developed
by testing the ideas and suggestions of the numerous professional riders
lined up by Nolan for World Championships. This is how this highly reliable
safety accessory takes shape and gets set for track and normal road use.
Races are also the ideal testing ground for our skilled technicians from the
Racing Service to carry out the double task of providing technical
assistance, while picking up that valuable experience and information,
available only in extreme conditions, which can then be passed on to our
experts in production.And the races also provide a great adrenalin rush for
young fans who dream of following in the tracks of their heroes.
Nolan has always sponsored young up and coming riders from 125cc class to
MotoGP class, accompanying them through the whole of their sporting careers.
Nolan is and wants to be the "first" helmet worn by every motorcycling
enthusiast
