AP Racing strengthens British manufacturing with first in-house machined brake calipers

Coventry - AP Racing has completed and dispatched its first brake calipers machined entirely in-house, strengthening its British manufacturing operations and marking an important milestone in the company's ongoing investment in engineering excellence, production capability and future growth.

In-house machining marks a strategic enhancement of the company's manufacturing operations, bringing additional production processes under direct company control and strengthening its ability to support customers across motorsport, OEM and high-performance automotive markets.

Lee Cowley, Operations Director at AP Racing, said: "By expanding our in-house machining capability, we're creating closer links between design, manufacturing and quality assurance, allowing our teams to work more collaboratively and efficiently.

"This is about investing in the expertise, technology and processes that will support the next generation of AP Racing products and the customers who rely on them. Machining our race-proven brake calipers in-house gives us greater control throughout the development and production process, helping us deliver the precision, consistency and performance expected in the world's most demanding racing environments.

"Ultimately, every improvement we make is focused on delivering greater confidence, control and consistency, helping strengthen the connection between driver and machine.

"We're proud to achieve this milestone at our Coventry facility as we continue to invest in British engineering and the future of AP Racing."

The milestone forms part of AP Racing's wider investment programme, supporting the continued development of high-performance braking technologies for global motorsport, OEM and performance vehicle markets.

AP Racing brake systems are trusted across many of the world's leading racing championships, including Formula 1, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, NASCAR, IndyCar, and Supercars.
