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! Very Happy

Well, that'd decided me. You can keep it. In fact, you can put it somewhere extremely safe, and stay sitting down in case it falls out.

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.

Ooops, you're a reseller rather than retailer?

If you go on the official EBC Brakes website, it gives two links in the "where to buy in the UK" section:

https://ebcbrakes.com/where-to-buy-in-the-uk/where-to-buy-in-the-uk-motorcycle/

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

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? Embarassed

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.

Hi,

You are pretty accurate with your findings. Yes, This account and any other forum accounts are managed by a representative of EBC Brakes/ Freeman Automotive (UK) Ltd.

As a well established British company, We produce our own brake pads, discs, calipers and brake hoses for automotive, motorcycle, Mountain Bikes, ATV, Karts and a number of other applications in the UK.

Our Northampton office/ global HQ also houses a distribution site, our Centre of Excellence and manufacturing departments, We also have a number of additional manufacturing locations around the world including Cleveland, Ohio and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Thanks for taking your time to provide some constructive points and valid information. Maybe you will even try our products at some point....
