2024
The Procen Air, a time-trial inspired helmet for the peloton, was released and instantly took race wins on EF Pro Cycling riders.
Born and based in Stockholm, Sweden, we are a safety and performance pioneer on a global mission: protect lives and reduce the consequences of accidents for athletes and anyone inspired to be one. At the core of everything we believe and do lies data, research, and rigorous testing. Whether on the mountains, trails, or winding roads, a ride with POC is a ride protected by science.
POC は、安全性、パフォーマンス、デザインを完璧に組み合わせた妥協のない製品を作成するという明確なビジョンを持っています。 製品を開発するとき、私たちは問題を解決し、使命を具体化します。
機能と目的は常に最優先され、デザインは私たちが自然に、そして誇りを持って取り組むものです。
POC ラボは、様々な科学、医療、技術分野の情報を提供する社内ハブです。イノベーションを推進し、限界を押し広げ、慣例に疑問を投げかけ、プロテクションの水準を高めることを唯一の使命としています。命を守るという私たちの使命をさらにサポートするために、POC はアスリートやユーザーに新しい素材、アイデア、テクノロジーを最初に紹介する企業でありたいと考えています。

SUSTAINABILITY WORK
POC will never compromise on safety. Whilst safety on the road or mountains is at our core, we work hard to keep the planet safe as well.
A lot of our products are a natural part of a sustainable transport solution, by getting more people on bikes, but as a company putting products on the market, we need to be mindful of the resources.
Project Blueprint is our long-term and ongoing commitment to lower our environmental impact without jeopardising the safety of our products. Read more: Project Blueprint
POC CULTURE
We collaborate with partners, athletes, colleagues and events all over the world, yet we all have the same thing in common: passion. Whether that passion is to develop a new type of protective lens or to get the highest ranking in alpine skiing, we’re all constantly seeking new and unconventional ways to keep sports moving forward. To be able to keep doing this thing we love in an even safer way.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Since 2004, we’ve worked hard to be at the forefront of safety and performance, resulting in upward of 70 awards. While a pat on the back, a trophy and an acknowledgement feel great, they don’t come close to the e-mails, phone calls and messages we receive from athletes and customers all over the world; messages telling us we’ve protected them from injury. And sometimes even saved their lives.
