Schroth
Carl Friedrich Schroth (1909-1997) was a keen sporting motorcyclist and engineer from his youth onwards. Before the 2nd World War he joined LUEG in Bochum, at that time Germany’s largest BMW and Daimler-Benz dealer, as manager of the repair works. In 1943 – as the air-raids on the Ruhr District intensified – the works was relocated to Neheim-Hüsten. In 1948 LUEG closed the Neheim works and returned to Bochum. Soon after the war Carl Friedrich Schroth was already indulging in his motorsport hobby again. A nimble motorcyclist before the war, in the 1950s he switched to Borgward and Simca as well. He took enthusiastic part in rallies and encountered a problem: it annoyed him that his co-driver could not read maps and navigate properly because he was constantly being flung to and fro in his seat. “He needs securing!”, Schroth decided. From roller blind and coat buckles he “tailored” a seat belt for his co-pilot. He had developed the first German belt, a shoulder belt. Schroth Racing provides top of the line safety belts for road and race vehicles. With years of engineering background Schroth does intensive research and testing on all products they produce. The European inspired belts below feature carbon fiber reinforced rotary cam lock and 100% polyester webbing. Utilizing a double crotch strap design common among Formula 1 race cars these belts offer support in extreme impact conditions. Designed to be used with a H.A.N.S. device Schroth has thought of everything. If you want to make sure you arrive home safely make sure you use Schroth.
