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
• Clutches – carbon , sintered and organic

The benefits

• Increased breaking performance to counter the effect of adding weight (armour)
• Reduced through life costs (reduced pad and disc wear)
• Increased durability to deal with the harsher environments experienced by armoured vehicles
• Off-the-shelf certified kits that can be easily fitted to a range of vehicles
• Bespoke design and development that can be tailored to meet your exact requirements

All brake systems are developed and tested by Alcon’s own engineering team. Production is in-house.
