Alcon’s first customer was Audi who in the 1980’s needed a braking system for the Group B Quattro. Since then Alcon has been a regular supplier to the very top levels of motorsport. The demands of motorsport; highest quality, optimal design and efficient delivery are also required by OE and after-market sectors.
Today Alcon supplies brake systems ranging from supercars through off-roaders to 30-ton military vehicles. No other brake manufacturer has such a range of systems which include
- Aluminium brake calipers (two piece and monobloc)
- Cast iron brake caliper (opposed piston two piece & pin sliders)
- Brake discs – iron and ceramic
- Pedal boxes
- Bespoke and off-the-shelf actuation solutions
- Friction materials, hoses, park brake solutions
