Background

 

Subject Guided by its chairman, Hon’ble Shri Subhash Kapur and led under the dynamic leadership of its Managing Director Hon’ble Shri Rajeev Kapur boasts off 26 years of leadership.   The name Steelbird has been the Torch Bearer for uncompromising quality, ensuring that each of its products deliver the costumer, the Best of the Quality

 

The success of the Steelbird group of industries is a success story of a visionary who had a humble beginning.  It all begin with a vision of a young man, Mr. Subhash Kapur who at the age of 20 had little finances but a lot of guts.  Despite little formal education Mr. Kapur developed a fantastic business sense of a genius.  His uncanny neck for choosing the difficult path kept him ahead.  Whether it was air filters, fuel filters, electronic parts of two wheelers or helmets, as the name “Steelbird” appeared on thousands of two wheeler products, it spelled one thing, “Top Most Quality”.  

 

In a market where people have had little knowledge about the role of a safety helmet in two-wheeler riding and they end up purchasing useless plastic caps or non standard helmets, Mr. Kapur had the guts to manufacture helmets starting from 760/- onwards, whereas the market was flooded with cheap so called Helmets priced around Rs 150/-.  

 

This uncanny knack was passed to the next generation and as the dynamic, Mr. Rajeev Kapur took over the mantle, Steelbird saw itself expanding its wings in the Global Market.   

 

Says, Mr. Rajeev Kapur, “The legacy of my father has to continue unabated and I take responsibility to take his vision to every part of the world.” 

 

In less than 2 years, Mr. Rajeev Kapur took the Steelbird name to many countries around the Globe.  The efforts of Steelbird and its name in the Asian Region also resulted in an Italian collaboration with BIEFFE, the World’s no.1 company in helmets. 

 

Now the bike enthusiast in India have the option to choose the best in the world.  The same helmets are worn by Racers across the world and are available at nominal prices for the Indian Riders.
