The Beginning 

Let’s rewind over 70 years to Barcelona, Spain, where Italian entrepreneur Maffio Milesi set out with a clear vision: to create high-quality braking systems. Galfer began by producing brake pads for the automotive industry, quickly building a reputation for innovation and performance. By the late ’90s, as mountain biking evolved, Galfer shifted gears - developing disc rotors and pads for some of the first European companies venturing into MTB braking technology.
