Company Background

Vision Biotech specialises in the development and manufacture of point-of-care rapid test assays. Its core business includes producing high quality assays that are stable and durable enough for the difficult conditions found in remote laboratories, clinics and distributed testing stations found in Africa and specifically sub-Saharan Africa – with a keen focus on infectious diseases.

The Leatt-Brace™ Group was established in 2005 after four years of research into the viability of a neck protection system for helmeted sports. The group comprises a holdings, research and development, manufacture, marketing and US-listed parent company; Leatt Corporation Inc. (OTC: LEAT, PK).

The Leatt-Brace™ is a totally unique patented product that can be used by anyone wearing a crash helmet and where there is a risk of neck injury. Until now there has been no complete solution to neck injury and the Leatt-Brace™ is set to take the multi-billion rand international helmet market by storm. There are two Leatt-Brace™ models available, namely the MOTO R for car and kart use and the MOTO GPX for motorcycle and other use.
