About Us In true enterprising Punjabi spirit, HERO PISTOL also had a small beginning in the city of LUDHIANA. The time was just post-partition, 1952, and the legendary HERO dreamt of providing the common with a quality yet affordable means of transport. Started in 1948 as a bicycle saddles and brake manufacturing unit, by 1952 they had started on a journey to fulfilling the dream of creating a brand that is today HERO PISTOL. Quality products combined with economical pricing and ethical business dealing, the HERO quickly earned their dealers’ trust and acceptance. Today with its 15-acre production plant, the company has the capacity of manufacturing 10000 bicycles on a daily basis. Each bicycle manufactured by the brand is fully assembled and produced from raw material to a complete product in the company’s manufacturing facility itself, which is also HERO’s biggest USP. All the components of its bicycles like rims, hubs, chains, mudguards and even steel balls are produced in-house in the manufacturing plant's ancillary units, most of which are ISI marked for their superior quality. The company also has an ISO 9001:2012 certified management system in place. It has completely integrated production units in its plants with state-of-the-art assembly lines. The company prides itself on its values which are excellent quality, economical pricing and ethical business dealings and combines the efficiency and quickness of a family firm with the widespread attributes of corporate operation. The former fosters confidence in its capacity to deliver consistently high performance, whereas the latter inspires trust. It is because of these values that HERO PISTOL is, at present, one of the best bicycle manufacturing brands in India. And the constant technological up-gradation and innovation have made HERO a brand to reckon with in both India and abroad.
