OUR HISTORY
2000
Start-up
Jon Lindblad establishes EBC Brakes Norge AS, operating under the trade name Brakes Norge, which is also the name used for marketing purposes. The company's purpose is the import and distribution of the EBC Brakes brand, offering a complete range of brakes for cars. The address is Strømsveien 185, at Alnabru in Oslo.
2001
First industry trade fair
Participating at Automessen, Lysaker.
2002

2003
Economic growth
Revenue approaches NOK 3 million
2005
Digital initiative

2007
Product range expands
Product range expands – Brakes Norge takes over the H&R agency for Norway. H&R becomes the first major product expansion, moving from an almost brake-only offering to Brakes & Suspension, with a new slogan: “Biggest and best in brakes & suspension”! Revenue approaches NOK 5 million.
2009
Moving to Lillestrøm
Moving from Oslo to Lillestrøm, into “The House on Torggata”. A charming but impractical space in an old building in the center of Lillestrøm. Here we had storage from basement to attic—literally—across three floors, in stairwells and hallways.
2011
Continued growth
Revenue reaches 7.5 million NOK..
2013
Streamlining
Another move, this time to Lørenskog, into a more practical space suited to our operations and size. Here we had 300 square meters on one level, with a drive-in gate and direct access. A real luxury for us after years of carrying brakes up and down stairs.
2015
New agency and anniversary
In 2015, Brakes Norge entered into a distribution agreement with Foliatec for the Norwegian market and at the same time celebrated its 15th anniversary with the launch of a dedicated anniversary logo.
2018
Shift in focus
We move once again, this time to Lahaugmoen in Skjetten, and separate sales and warehouse operations, implementing a 3PL solution for storage and logistics. This allows us to dedicate more time and resources to Sales & Development.
2019
Change of ownership
Sale of the company! Managing Director and majority owner Jon Lindblad decides to sell the company. To achieve the goals and ambitions set, the company needs an infusion of capital and resources.
