At Shimano, we pursue the creation of new designs and easy-to-use functions by keeping one jump ahead of the users’ imaginations. And we realize innovative new products excelling both in high precision and in durability by the metal-processing technologies we have developed for many years. This, we hope, will encourage more people to use bicycles resulting in the spread of more eco-friendly lifestyles and the promotion of environmental preservation.

Inspired by functional drinks from the Far East, Dietrich Mateschitz founded Red Bull in the mid 1980’s. He created the formula of Red Bull Energy Drink and developed the unique marketing concept of Red Bull.

This was not only the launch of a completely new product, in fact it was the birth of a totally new product category. Today Red Bull is available in 171 countries and around 68 billion cans of Red Bull have been consumed so far.
