About Brembo Brembo was founded in 1961, when widespread prosperity allowed ever wider bands of the population to use cars. It began as a small mechanics garage located a few kilometres from Bergamo, run by the current President's father Emilio Bombassei. Experience gained in mechanics and metallurgy was put to good use when the founder started working for customers such as Alfa Romeo.
Brembo's high technological standards were consecrated in 1975, when Ferrari's patron, Enzo Ferrari, entrusted the Bergamo company with the task of attending to the most prestigious Formula 1 car. Brembo soon became leader in braking systems for racing. Since then, teams equipped with Brembo brakes have won hundreds of car and motorcycle world championships.
In June 2005 Brembo was awarded for the second time the "Ferrari Innovation Award" as best Ferrari's partner for innovation capacity and product development.
Today, Brembo is clearly recognized as the world's leading brake systems developer.
