CHARLOTTE, N.C. — AP Racing, the world-renowned brake and clutch supplier, is opening an all-new U.S. office in Charlotte, N.C. AP Racing North America Corporation (APRNA) will provide customers throughout the U.S. and Canada with greater access to the company’s industry-leading road and race technologies.
The company’s commitment to establishing this new U.S. presence follows exciting opportunities for growth within the region. Investment in this new office, and a skilled local team, will greatly enhance support and customer liaison for new and existing customers using AP’s high-performance brake and clutch components.
The new office will closely support all its U.S. customers, including its recent contract win with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which will be adopting AP Racing components, with production beginning later in 2022.

This follows a rich history of US contract wins, including NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA, OEM road car programs, specialist vehicle projects, and more.
While the company has been a mainstay of the U.S. market for some time, with permanent staff working alongside U.S. distributor Essex Parts Services – which will remain the exclusive North American Distributor – APRNA will enhance the connection between its global headquarters in Coventry, U.K., and direct customers, including OEMs and race teams in the U.S.
