The Marushin story started 1958 in Tokyo as helmets manufacturing company, led by Watanabe Shin.
His business vision was shaped by strict quality consciousness and steadfast innovation strength, both typical virtues of Japan rising economy during its golden years. The brand name Marushin came out from Watanabe´s first name which translation sounds as "reliable and tenacious".



Since the beginning Marushin has been one of the pioneers who developed the fibreglass technologies applied to the shells of High-End helmets production. At the end of the sixties the production plants were expanded to match the fast growing demand.

Very early the further step was a very strong connection and cooperation with racing teams, so, since the early seventies the results came out with several worldwide championships. Since 1980 Marushin got the benchmark as test-winner among the most qualified international competition.
