Company Background
Galfer USA is the American division of Spain-based Galfer, a braking systems manufacturer founded in 1952. The parent company is headquartered near the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Galfer USA operates out of Orlando, Florida, and supplies brake components to professional racing teams, OEM manufacturers, dealers, and aftermarket customers.
The company produces precision-engineered rotors and racing brake pads. In 2024, rider Ai Ogura won the Moto2 World Championship with the MT Helmets – MSI team. That bike ran Galfer Floatech rotors and Racing G1310 brake pads.
MotoAmerica Alignment
The partnership positions Galfer USA alongside top-tier riders in the American road racing paddock. It also connects the company’s European racing credentials to the U.S. market.
“MotoAmerica represents the highest level of road racing in the U.S., and that’s exactly where Galfer belongs,” said Armando Riva, Country Manager of Galfer USA. “We’re excited to engage in a partnership that puts our products side-by-side with the best riders, showcasing how closely our brand is connected to elite-level performance.”
Chuck Aksland, COO of MotoAmerica, emphasized the technical fit. “Galfer has built its reputation in the most competitive racing environments in the world, and that level of technical commitment aligns perfectly with what we expect in the MotoAmerica paddock,” Aksland said. “Having partners who understand performance at this level, while actively supporting racing development, strengthens our championship and the teams who compete in it.”
