Alcon Specialist Brakes & Clutches is a designer and manufacturer of ultra-high quality, specialist brake system components whose no-compromise approach to engineering excellence and capabilities span top-flight motorsport, OEM supply and armoured and military applications.

Established in 1983 by racer and engineer John Moore to research and develop new braking technologies, the Alcon brand immediately gained legendary status in the motorsport world by partnering with Audi Sport to develop high performance brake discs and calipers for their Group B Quattro rally cars, securing Stig Blomqvist and Audi Sport both the driver’s and Manufacturers’ World Rally Championships the following year.

Nearly 40 years later, the Alcon brand continues to deliver the same level of excellence and innovation as a developer and manufacturer of high performance aftermarket braking systems, thanks to their key ability to curate the entire process in-hous,e from initial concept to final production utilising the latest five axis CNC machines.
