Brembo has announced the acquisition of a 100% stake in Öhlins Racing, a premium manufacturer of high-performance suspension systems for motorcycles and cars. Öhlins, known for its advanced suspension technology in Original Equipment, Motorsport, and Aftermarket segments, will now be part of Brembo’s portfolio, strengthening Brembo’s market position in vehicle dynamics and intelligent solutions.
The acquisition was valued at USD 405 million and is expected to close in early 2025, pending regulatory approvals. Öhlins, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Sweden, operates two production facilities and R&D centres in Sweden and Thailand.
The company’s suspension technology is widely respected for its precision and innovation, especially in MotoGP, Formula 1, and World Superbike. Öhlins is projected to reach a USD 144 million turnover in 2024, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 21%-22%.
Brembo’s Executive Chairman, Matteo Tiraboschi, emphasised that Öhlins complements Brembo’s strategy of providing integrated solutions for the automotive market, marking the company’s largest acquisition to date. Brembo, already a leader in braking systems, continues to expand in the motorcycle and motor racing sectors.
Previous acquisitions include SBS Friction and J.Juan, further establishing Brembo’s position in two-wheeler solutions, which now account for 13% of its revenues.
