Mips AB engages in the manufacture and sale of safety helmets. The company is headquartered in Taby, Stockholm and currently employs 110 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2017-03-23. The firm offers its MIPS Brain Protection System (BPS) that implies solutions protecting against rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. BPS is designed to add protection in helmets due to the low friction layer, which enables a relative movement between the head and the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. The technology implements into bicycle, snow, motorcycle and equestrian helmets. More than 40 helmet brands use BPS, including Bell, Fox Head, Giro, Scott, Smith and Trek, among others. The firm determines only one segment as operations solely comprise sales of the component kit included in consumer products.
