Continually setting new standards, Cardo has earned a reputation for excellence through its range of industry-leading products with its numerous products benefitting from the wealth of experience and knowledge from the brand.

On its 20-year pursuit, Cardo has continuously been creating, inventing and introducing brand-new technology. Moving the industry along, keeping up with customer wants and needs, and developing its own four differentiators in the market: Sound by JBL, Natural Voice Operation, 100% Waterproofness and proven Dynamic Mesh Communication connectivity.

Reflecting on the company’s remarkable journey to date, Alon Lumbroso, CEO of Cardo Systems, comments: “From what started as a ‘simple’ idea, to pioneering an entire industry and becoming a global leader selling in over 100 countries is remarkable. 

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our fantastic community, dedicated employees across the globe and strategic partners who have – and continue – to contribute to the success of Cardo and make it the brand it is today.” 

Expanding on the brand’s knowledge and experience in the motorcycle market, Cardo’s commitment to innovation has driven its expansion beyond the boundaries and into new industries, to introduce product ranges to create communication solutions for ‘groups in motion’. In 2020, Cardo launched the first Outdoor Mesh Communicator with the introduction of the PACKTALK Ski and has since brought specialised products for outdoor pursuits to the market and as a result, has welcomed diverse use applications to the portfolio.

Building on its rich history of breaking boundaries, Cardo Systems is committed to continuing to shape the future of communication technology. Be part of the journey and join the #CardoFam.
