Dear valued customers:
Silk Road is focused on designing, manufacturing, and supplying the highest quality performance automotive
parts for you, the discriminating enthusiast. Our innovative products are all created to conform with our
motto of “Faster and Safer”
Towards the end of the 1980s, automotive technology took a significant leap forwards in terms of complexity. In addition,
consumers became increasingly concerned with the issue of safety while driving. We remained conscious of this trend, while
maintaining a keen focus on the thrilling sector of amateur and professional motorsports - both abroad, in such elite venues
as Formula One, and in Japanese grassroots racing.
After 31 years in business, we have not strayed from our offering of cutting-edge, premium quality performance components.
As a result of this dedication, our flagship Section lineup of products is trusted by many clients worldwide.
In this new millenium, we anticipate unveiling even more innovative products based on our motto of "Faster and Safer".
Using only the finest materials, designs and quality control, Silk Road will continually strive to offer the absolute
best in high performance parts.
Best wishes,
Nobuo Ogawa
President, Silkroad Co., Ltd
