De Carbon
The de Carbon hydraulic shock absorber was invented in 1953, by Christian Bourcier de Carbon. The De Carbon Company was also established in 1953; however, in 1997, Delphi gained control of the entire company. When BeijingWest Industries acquired the brakes and suspensions business of Delphi in 2009, BWI Group acquired the de Carbon brand. Today, the shock absorbers are mainly sold as a key aftermarket brand in European countries. Vehicle Applications. 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS External links. www.bwigroup.com
