What Ermax does

Ermax is a French manufacturer of aftermarket motorcycle and scooter accessories, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Roquefort-la-Bédoule, France. The company produces a broad catalog of thermoformed plastic components — windshields (including original-size, high-protection, sport-touring, roadster, scooter, and the Aeromax aerodynamic line), rear huggers, front fenders, seat cowls, belly pans, license plate holders, low and side fairings, nose fairings, undertails, taillights and indicators, and aluminum accessories such as chainguards and footpegs — each engineered to fit specific motorcycle models from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, BMW, Triumph, KTM, Piaggio, Ducati, and many other marques. Underlying manufacturing relies on plastic thermoforming, with supplementary custom silk-screen printing and contract thermoforming services offered to third parties.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at ermax.com available in six languages (German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese), supplemented by French retailers/dealers and an international distributor network. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from approximately €17.50 for universal extensions to over €330 for premium fairing sets, positioning Ermax in the mid-priced aftermarket segment. Marketing is conducted through the own-storefront, downloadable product catalogs, and active branded accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. The company carries a "Made in France" designation and maintains a sub-brand (Aeromax) and lifestyle categories (Deco et Design, Team Wear). Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees; ownership and management are not disclosed in available material, and there are no recorded funding rounds, acquisitions, or public listings.
