Goodridge sold, launches ABS brake and clutch lines
LEADING brake hose manufacturer Goodridge was sold on December 30th 2013 by the Goodridge family and shareholders, and acquired by Rubicon Partners and Grovepoint Capital LLP (RG Industries).
Rubicon says it plans to utilise its "extensive industrial expertise, strategic vision and hands-on operational approach to take Goodridge to the next level in its development."
This is said to include RGI investing extensively in automotive quality production and product development. Under RG Industries' ownership the business will be well placed to take advantage of future growth opportunities and develop even stronger relationships with its enviably prestigious customer base."
Jamie Ramsden, Goodridge's Vice President Americas, said "our business relationships will remain unaffected, and we now have a partner that looks to aid growth and improvement of the business, in every market sector, and every location. We view this as a great step to continue to grow the business."
The company has recently announced the launch of a range of brake and hydraulic clutch lines designed to fit 2014 ABS and non-ABS Harley-Davidson models.
Available for the all new Rushmore Project, Softail, Dyna, and XL applications, the range includes complete bolt-on kits and universal adapters to mate to Goodridge universal brake lines.
The new brake and clutch hoses from Goodridge feature PVC coated stainless steel braided brake hoses with a Teflon inner liner, and polished stainless steel or chromed steel hardware components.
