The company was founded in the early 1920s in Braunschweig. Today, Schuberth has about 400 employees, and produces 1.5 million helmets per year. Schuberth also produces the motorcycle helmets that BMW supplies under their own name, and is the supplier of helmets to 65 armies. In Formula One, Schuberth has supplied helmets for Michael Schumacher,^[1] Ralf Schumacher,^[2] Kimi Räikkönen, Giancarlo Fisichella, Felipe Massa, Nick Heidfeld and Nico Rosberg with the Schuberth Formel 1-Racehelm RF1.

The company produces a number of motorcycle helmets that can be purchased openly by anyone, however the only helmets that the company makes for auto (car) racing, are primarily those used within Formula One, and none of these are available for open purchase by the general public.
