About Wilwood Engineering
Wilwood is a manufacturer of high-performance disc brake systems.
In the Thirty years since Wilwood was founded in 1977 we have developed
a substantial matrix of brake components and engineering techniques that
allow us to quickly and reliably create brake systems for almost any application.
Our core ability is the rapid development of custom engineered brake systems using
a combination of off the shelf and custom components. In addition to designing and
manufacturing brakes for all types of competitive motor sports, Wilwood also manufactures
brake systems and components for agricultural equipment, industrial applications,
utility vehicles, snowmobiles, quads, motorcycles and military vehicles.
Wilwood employs approximately 300 people at our Camarillo California facility.
We have on shelf stock of over 300 different brake calipers, 200 rotor designs,
100 master cylinder designs and a wide assortment of brackets, fittings, valves,
and brake lines. Our off shelf brake calipers range in size from tiny calipers used
on go-carts and light duty industrial equipment to heavy duty original equipment brakes for the U.S.
military Humvee.
Our engineering department uses the latest computer aided design and manufacturing techniques
in conjunction with finite element analysis, dynamic test and cycle test equipment, to find high-performance
and reliability solutions to the most difficult braking tasks. Our extensive inventory of proprietary
on the shelf components permit us to provide very cost effective solutions to unique brake applications.
Wilwood is ISO 9000 compliant and has extensive experience maintaining quality levels of 100ppm or less
for original equipment manufacturers.
