FRENCH helmet manufacturer ROOF remains on the recovery trail following the fire that destroyed their factory and warehouse near Nice.
The company has rebuilt its original facility and invested in their own brand new manufacturing plant, and last year celebrated their 20th anniversary.
Back in 1993 owner and designer Claude Morin launched his original 'Roadster' helmet and since then went on to manufacture the iconic and unique 'Boxer' and 'Boxer V8' helmet series.

This year saw the company introduce a new model, the 'Rover' and say that they have several exciting new projects in the pipeline for 2015.
Meanwhile the company has appointed Putoline Distribution as their UK distributor, following the demise some time ago of Thunderchild.
John Hayden, Managing Director of Putoline Distribution, said that "this is a very exciting time for our company, and we are very pleased to have added the ROOF brand to our growing product range.
"ROOF helmets are unique and occupy a place in the market that differentiates their designs from the mainstream and motivates buyers who are looking for quality and individuality".
Ilham Mahfi, the export director for ROOF International, said that "we have been supplying a number of UK dealers directly over the last few years, and their success has made it obvious that we needed to find a new partner in the UK. Putoline distribution has a full sales team and warehouse facility, and logistically they are a perfect choice for us, and together we're looking forward to further developing our brand on the UK market".
