ScorpionExo® is, quite simply, the next wave in motorcycle helmet and protective gear design and manufacturing. ScorpionExo® Helmets are engineered by some of the world's most sought-after helmet designers, with over 178 years of cumulative experience. And their wild, innovative graphic designs are created in hotbeds of extreme-sports creativity all over the world, from Europe to Southern California, to stay two steps ahead in this fast-moving field. The Scorpion Sports factory (Kido Industrial Co., Ltd.) is a state-of-the-art, 810,000 sq. ft. campus, staffed by as many as 400 skilled technicians, each dedicated to crafting the world's best protective headgear. Almost every operation needed to create world-class helmets is located on this one amazing facility, including both fiberglass/Kevlar™ and polycarbonate shell molding, EPS liner manufacturing, liner sewing, water-decal production, clean-room paint booths, drying rooms, assembly, packaging and shipping. Many helmet brands simply private-label helmets purchased from generic mass manufacturers. And most other helmet brands sub-contract major portions of their manufacturing to smaller vendors. Scorpion does not-because we want to control every operation, every detail, to insure optimum quality, confidence-inspiring integrity and utmost efficiency. The North American headquarters (The Nest) for Scorpion Sports is located in Lake Forest, CA the nerve center and warehouse, plus in 2007 we opened our new distribution center located in Louisville, KY. Both include the latest computerized technology for order entry, inventory management, pick, pack, and shipping, customer service and order tracking. Dealer orders can be easily placed anytime on the website, or over the phone during business hours. And each order can be tracked online until it arrives at any dealership in North America. |

I worked at the dealer level for 5 yrs and learned a ton from working closely with the owner, GM, parts manager, and sales reps. In March of 2004 I was offered a position at Scorpion Sports as an inside phone sales guy developing new dealers, so my wife and I pick up our lives of 28+ yrs from Oregon and moved south 1,300 miles to beautiful sunny Southern California... woohoo!!
