Haloglow has its HQ in Hong Kong but is a multi-cultural, global company that has technology partners throughout Austral-Asia and a sales network that stretches across the continents of Asia, America and Europe.   Foremost amongst Haloglow’s technology partners is Poly Optics Australia Pty Limited (“Poly Optics”) who have developed unique and patented fibre optic technology that Haloglow applies exclusively on most of its consumer products.

Haloglow has chosen to start its journey with the launch in July 2008 of the Haloglow Bicycle Helmet, the first light integrated sports helmet in the World using fibre optic technology which will bring visibility and safety benefits to its users.

Haloglow has a business and product development plan to introduce a whole range of consumer products using fibre optic technology in the markets for Sports & Safety Helmets;  Bike Illumination;  Entertainment;  Clothing & Bags;  Walking Assistance; and Pet Care.

Mac is one of the founding partners of Haloglow having had a “eureka” moment when he realised the potential of the Poly Optics fibre optic technology to be applied to consumer products and the benefits it could bring to its users, “It’s the Helmet stupid!”.
