With a total of 11 technical and Research staff our Company boasts one of the finest brake research centres in the world with 7 dynamometers, full time in house Chemists and scientists that are the envy of lesser manufacturers.

Our two Ultra modern US based Link Dynos represent a million dollar investment whilst established facilities at the Bristol organic brake plant can test up to torque levels used for even Railway Locomotive applications.

Technical innovation is the key to the success of the EBC (Mountain bike, motorcycle and passenger car) and EFI (commercial,industrial and railway ) Brake ranges.
