EBC Brakes were founded in 1978 and initially supplied performance brake pads for the motorcycle market. They quickly grew to dominate that market and have since developed brakes for road, race and rally cars, vans, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles, mountain bikes and even mainline locomotives. EBC Brakes has now grown into a worldwide group but is still privately owned and is the last truly independent brake manufacturer in the UK. They have manufacturing facilities in Northampton and Bristol as well as in Cleveland, Ohio in the United States. EBC launched their automotive range of brake pads in the late 1980’s and their rise to success in the European market has been nothing less than meteoric.
