    History

    Home / About / History

    Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) has grown from its humble beginnings as a family-owned business over 45 years ago to being Australia’s number one brake rotor manufacturer and complete ‘brake solution’ supplier. Since 2018 the company has been owned by ASX-listed Amotiv Limited (formerly GUD Holdings Limited), one of Australia’s leading conglomerates of automotive aftermarket product brands.

     

    With its unparalleled technical expertise, DBA not only engineers and manufactures the most comprehensive program of disc rotors and drums, but offers a complete range of brake pads and shoes, calipers, brake fluids, sensors and other ancillary items, all the way from standard OE replacement products to high-performance brakes.

     

    In recognition of its uncompromising approach to quality and performance, DBA has repeatedly been voted #1 preferred and recommended brand, #1 for product range, and #1 for technical expertise in brake rotors by Australian workshops.

     

    The company has long been a champion of safety in the Australian Automotive industry, and its dedication to quality has been recognised with over 16 manufacturing awards from the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA). DBA is also a founding member of the Australian Auto Innovation Centre (AIC).

     

    Product Offering & Distribution

    DBA’s product range covers over 97% of the Australian car parc, with applications catering for street vehicles, performance upgrades, towing, 4×4 / SUV, military / armoured vehicles, track and motorsport applications. While proud of its Australian roots and its local achievements, DBA over time has truly grown into a global player, servicing the world through eight distribution centres across Australia, New Zealand and the USA, distributors on all continents, and exporting to over 30 countries.

     

    DBA’s dedicated expert team of Sales and Customer Service Representatives engages with its retail, trade, and end-customers through numerous channels, be it face-to-face and over the phone, or virtually via our website and our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages. These offer a world of information about our range of brake products, new product releases, and technical insights, and are also a great way to engage with the DBA team.

     

    Quality, Performance & Safety

    DBA’s uncompromised focus is on Quality, Performance and Safety. When manufacturing and distributing safety critical components, DBA believes there can be no shortcuts or substitutions for quality. Its range of direct replacement disc rotors and pads feature a myriad of technical innovations and patents and set the bar in quality, tolerances, and premium metals that delivers top quality.

     

    DBA maintains ISO9001:2015 accreditation through TÜV Rheinland®.
