We are Global Leading Expert in intelligent braking solutions, and we love big machines. The bigger the machine, the better our brakes must be. Our world leading solutions are designed, tested and produced in order to secure the up-time that your operation depends on. We know you can't afford to fail. So we won't.
The company was founded in 1884. Back then, we built machines for industrial companies. In 1989 we took over the rights to manufacture disc brakes from Hägglunds Drives and became specialists. We also changed our name at that time and recognised the new company focus by deleting our first name "Maskinfabrik" and adding "Brakes" to "Svendborg".
In 1990, we delivered our first brakes to customers in the mining industry and we entered into the wind industry the following year. We have since then opened offices and manufacturing facilities in many locations all over the world. We are part of a strong network, within the Regal Rexnord Corporation, who have a large global footprint.
Our mindset is global, and in order to be truly global, we must be close to our customers regardless of where in the world their projects are located.
