HELITE was founded in 2002 by Gérard Thevenot, one of the French pioneer and entrepreneurs in the light aircraft industry. His thirst for inventions and safety awareness pushed him into developing an airbag system in the light aircraft sector. He rapidly understood the crucial needs for more security in all types of applications. Our airbags are already in use in several high-risk activities such as motorcycling, horse riding... more than 80.000 airbags! HELITE is exclusively dedicated to develop airbag sys-tems through a combination of knowledgeable staff and advanced engineering solutions. More than R&D work, HELITE is also an expert in the manufacturing of inflatable protective equipment and the leading developer in Europe of wearable airbag systems.
