At a wild guess, I imagine www.ebcbrakesuk.com, as opposed to www.ebcbrakes.com, might have something to do with it?[/quote]

In that case, you will notice that ebcbrakes.com is our main site for all global businesses which then shows USA/Direct/UK separate contact details. In the UK We use the @ebcbrakesuk.com email addresses rather than @direct or @USA even though there is no website attached to it, common practice in a number of global businesses. Thanks.

1: https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/
2: https://bikes.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/

I would love to know your facts behind this? What makes you think We are a retailer and if We were why would We not just state that? All very bizarre but hey, thanks for the warm welcome AGAIN! [/quote]
Ooops, you're a reseller rather than retailer?

"Welcome to EBC Brakes Direct, an independent company recommended and endorsed by EBC Brakes that was founded in 2003. We are a leading authorised online reseller of EBC Brakes parts with fast access to all of the latest products and materials."[/quote]

EBC Brakes Direct exists to sell to consumers as We do not sell directly from our factory so sell from EBC Direct instead and this is within our own business. It's a complicated process and probably too deep a conversation to get into the business setup for the sake of a friendly bike forum!

I had EBC brakes on my car once, red stuff and turbo groove discs, lobbed them in the bin quite quickly after they fractured, I like stopping, and I like stopping with something I can trust, especially on two wheels.

OK so I am confused, I thought the EBC Brakes Account was a representative of EBC Brakes, and by that I mean of the actual manufacturer themselves: Freeman Automotive (UK) Ltd. Are they not?

I didn't realise how big EBC brakes actually were, I thought they were a small boutique brake company that would probably turnover around the £10 - £15m mark. I thought their route to market would probably be high-profitability product made in the Far East and rebranded as EBC but from what I can find in my 15 minutes of looking: they have a lot more routes to market and manufacture components themselves (callipers at least, but I suspect they also do the pads, etc themselves directly).

Looking at Google Maps at their HQ I initially thought it was simply a distribution centre as it's probably about the size of my company's distribution centre and we import from our factory in the Far East but we also have distribution centres in eight other locations around the world.

Just checked their accounts and they turnover a nudge over £31,000,000 (£40,600,000 for the whole Group) which is not to be sneezed at. Genuinely impressed to be honest, especially at their 38.9% profit margin (59.84% for the whole Group). As a businessman I think they look a great operation with good accounts. If they ever float as a public company I'd be into the IPO.
