The company also began producing helmets & safety equipments for the defense , Industrial and General Utility, Mining & sports sector also . Helmets have been in usage as a protective and safety tool. The discovery of Plastic, Polymer & Viscous liquid changed the outlook of helmets in India. Prior to independence the usage of helmet in India as part of travelling requirement was significantly less. So helmets were mostly imported from England. The helmet production industry was yet to take its birth in India. Indias first helmet manufacturer Steel Bird (1964), entered with wide variety of helmets at premium prices (starting from Rs.750). Later on many companies followed the suite, few to mention are Concord Helmets (1965), Studds Helmets (1968), Vega Helmets (1981) and many other companies.
