As the name indicates, a valley in Korea where only motorcycle helmets are produced. HJC started there in 1971. Complete HJC helmets are made in this headquarters; from visor to helmet shell; HJC produces everything itself in this factory.

In this way, HJC supports the development of the North Korean people. HJC hopes that through initiatives like this North Korea will become a free country. In this factory HJC produces simple helmet parts. HJC has been producing helmets in China since the second half of the nineties. That happens with the same philosophy as the giants such as Sony, Panasonic and Nikon from Japan do. Development in the home country; all raw materials also come from the home country and the lower labor costs mean that production in China results in a strong price for motorcyclists around the world.
Since the end of 2008, HJC has taken a new step to ensure that HJC continues to produce helmets at a unique price / quality ratio; opening of a new factory in Vietnam. By the way, the production concept remains the same as in China. R&D Center HJC invests a very large part of its profit in the development of new helmet models. In this way HJC helmets become safer and more comfortable. In our own R&D Center, no fewer than 50 engineers work daily on the improvement of HJC helmets.
