Here’s [**a comment from that review**](https://nsmb.com/articles/helmet-tech-mips-or-grams/\#c74547) which includes a quote from ABUS. ——— Here’s the reply I received from my contact at ABUS (_italics_) and their official statement (**bold**): “_We are aware of this issue as it has come up in other online forums. Below is our statement about the concerns and how ABUS is run today. Personally, I can tell you that ABUS is a great company to work for and treats every employee, no matter their sex or religious beliefs, with respect and allows for advancement within the company._” **What was mentioned on Wikipedia and the article written about a family member had to do with how the company was run decades ago, by previous generations. ABUS is a 99 year old, family owned and operated company, now in its fifth generation of leadership. Board seats are passed down from generation to generation, and we believe future generations of the board of directors will look much different as new generations join the company. ABUS has women in management positions around the globe, from General Managers of factories to Product Managers responsible for designing and engineering our helmets and locks.**
