Galfer Brakes was founded in Barcelona, Spain in 1946 as a brake pad supplier for major European motorcycle and auto makers by Maffio Milesi and was for the most part, unknown in the United States until 1992 when Giorgio Milesi (one of Maffio Milesi’s three son’s who now own Galfer, Spain, moved to Santa Barbara with his son Sandro to open Galfer USA. Twelve years and 2 locations later, Galfer USA resides in a new 12,000 square foot Oxnard, California warehouse that services North and South America, Australia and the far east.
Although all Galfer brake pads are still made in our Barcelona factory, Galfer USA is at the forefront of brake technology. All Galfer stainless steel brake lines are made in the same building as our sales and management and design teams. And many of Galfer’s rotors are now made right here in Southern California.

We are not an uptight, stuffy company where all the employees hate to go to work every day. We are all powersports enthusiasts. Our GM Sandro and our production manager Robert ride dual purpose bikes. Sandro on a KTM 640 and Robert on a Kawasaki KLR650. Then there is our Dealer Sales Manager Sergio, with support from Dealers Sales reps JT Lepien & Jon Henry, Paul Nielsen in Dealer Development and Customer Service is handled by the lovely Carlina. Even our Web Mistress, Sandra rides a R6 Raven. And it all starts from the top our Capo di tuti capo (boss of all bosses) Giorgio was a factory Moto Guzzi racer back in his younger days. Here at Galfer, we make it a point to be the first to get you the latest applications.
Our relationships with top race teams and the OEM manufacturers allow us to get our hands on the newest bikes before the public does so we can make sure that our replacement pads, lines and rotors bolt up perfectly.
