While Brembo began operating in North America in 1988, it’s biggest milestone occurred in2007 when Brembo acquired the North American brake manufacturing facilities of Hayes
Lemmerz and opened its North American corporate headquarters and R&D Center in Plymouthin 2010. In doing so, Brembo confirmed its commitment to the North American market to better
serve its diversified OE customer base by offering a full array of specialty services from design
to manufacturing. Since then Brembo has doubled its manufacturing capacity to addressincreased OE demand. North America now represents 23% of Brembo’s worldwide revenue,
second only to Germany.
"With the consolidation in our new headquarters and R&D center in Plymouth and our growing
presence in North America, the Concours d'Elegance of America is an excellent fit for Brembo"
commented Dan Sandberg, President and CEO of Brembo North America. “At Brembo,
developing innovative technology for the future is always based on a strong foundation of pastachievements, making the Concours even more relevant”.
