Help build the further professionalisation of an international and innovative company!”

Motorcycling is not just a beloved hobby, but the primary mode of transport for many around the world. Pinlock provides fog-free motorbike helmet visors worldwide and offers solutions for helmets in all price ranges. As an ingredient brand, Pinlock helps helmet brands seamlessly integrate their technology into motorbike helmet visors, allowing consumers to continue riding in all weather conditions.

The Pinlock® lens, once winner of the ‘Best Invention of the Year’ award in the Netherlands, has become an essential component of the motorbike helmet. The lens is based on two principles: nanotechnology within the lens that can attract, store and release water back into the air, and an insulating effect when the lens is fitted to the motorbike helmet, thanks to a silicone sealing rim on the lens. The combination of these two technologies makes the lens effective against misting in the visor. From weekend riders to MotoGP and Formula 1 drivers, Pinlock offers clear vision in all weather conditions.

Over the past five years, Pinlock has grown from a supplier of leading anti-fog technology to an integrated manufacturer of Pinlock® lenses and a development partner for helmet brands. Pinlock focuses on offering ever-greater added value to its partner brands, building on its technological lead and further strengthening the brand. The company is making strides in the fields of optics and seamless integration, and is also expanding its portfolio to serve the growing market ever more effectively. Around 25 people work at the head office in Lelystad, whilst over 30 colleagues are based in Raamsdonksveer.
