When market leaders meet: A strong motorcycle pair

From starter to hub cap: Simrit delivers 16 sealing elements to protect all central Honda motorcycle components from leakage

A Brazil Hit
Light motorcycles are highly popular in Brazil. They are very robust, mobile and versatile, which makes them ideal to get from A to B in the country or in a town. Additionally, most of the population can afford light motorcycles. Market-leader Honda quickly recognised this potential and reacted to it by commencing motorcycle production in Brazil in 1976.

Record Figures for Motorcycles
Every day, 8,500 Honda employees produce 6,000 units. In 2008 alone,1.45 million machines were sold in this South-American country. One of the Japanese company's formulas for success are the high quality standards the company also has for its selection of suppliers. Therefore, Honda has been using the products of sealing and vibration control market leader Simrit from the very first.  

Everywhere the Best: Simmerrings and O-Rings
Today, Simrit supplies 15 rotary shaft seals and one O-Ring for all central machine components to the Brazil plants. These sealing components are not only decisive for the motorcycles' function, but also effectively prevent oil leakage and pollutant emission. As a result, Simrit's seals increase both performance and environmental compatibility.
