Industrias Galfer, a world leader in the design and production of high-performance braking systems for motorcycles and bicycles, proudly announces the opening of its new operational headquarters in North America – Galfer USA, located in Orlando, Florida for the distribution of its products in the United States and Canada. After more than 30 years of presence in the US market through a local distributor, Galfer is making a decisive commitment to the American market by opening its own subsidiary in Orlando.
With over 70 years of experience in developing brake rotors and pads, Galfer is not only an internationally recognized brand but a true global benchmark in innovation, quality, and reliability. The company is the creator of pioneering technologies such as the Disc W, Shark, Cubiq®, and Floatech® rotors, or Sinter and Semi-metal pads, recognized as having the highest performance and quality in the market. This innovation is born and tested in the most demanding environment: elite competition, where Galfer has been the winner of more than 120 world championships since 1952 in disciplines like MotoGP, WSBK, Enduro, MX, Trial, DH, Enduro, and XCO, equipping legends such as Toni Bou, Marc and Alex Márquez, Jorge Martin, Ken Roczen, Ai Ogura, Emma Bristow, Steve Holcombe, Brad Freeman, or Kiara Fontanesi, among many others.
This technological and competitive background has solidified Galfer as an OEM supplier for some of the world’s leading motorcycle and bicycle manufacturers, including KTM, Ducati, Triumph, Beta, Sherco, Stark, MV Agusta, Rieju, Montesa, Orbea, Pivot, Bianchi, and Megamo, among others.
The opening of the new headquarters represents a strategic step that further strengthens the company’s direct presence in the US market, offering motorcyclists, cyclists, and commercial partners privileged access to the latest technological solutions and official distribution services.
Galfer’s presence in the United States and Canada is based on the intrinsic excellence of its product range, which covers all segments, from road to off-road, in both the motorcycle and bicycle worlds. For three decades, Galfer brake components have been the preferred choice of American professionals and enthusiasts, as demonstrated by awards from specialized media: the historic American magazine Racer X, through its 2024 Readers’ Choice Survey, chose Galfer as the number one option in the brake rotor aftermarket. To further strengthen this positioning, the prestigious magazine Vital MX awarded Galfer brake rotors the title of #1 Brake Rotor to Buy 2025, recognizing their performance and reliability.
These achievements reaffirm that the technological innovation and quality of Galfer braking components are already considered the absolute reference in the US market, further consolidating the brand’s role as a leader in both the motorcycle and bicycle sectors globally.
The new 500m2 (1650 square feet) Orlando headquarters now complete Galfer’s international structure, which includes its historic facilities in Spain, steps away from the Circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya, serving not only as a research and development center but also as the company’s production heart, and the Italian subsidiary, operational since 2018. The Galfer USA subsidiary is led by Armando Riva, a professional with extensive experience in the braking and two-wheel world.
With Galfer USA, the brand takes a decisive step to reinforce its global strategy, ensuring a direct presence in the US market and greater proximity to customers and partners. This new opening represents a fundamental piece in Galfer’s international growth path, aiming to further establish itself as a benchmark in all the markets where it operates.
Galfer USA now represents the brand’s only official headquarters in the United States and Canada as the exclusive reference point for the distribution of Galfer products throughout the North American territory. Over 70 years of experience in braking solutions, and more than 30 years equipping motorcycles and bikes in the United States, come together in these new Florida offices, so that Galfer USA is closer than ever to its American users.
