Spanish brake manufacturer Galfer has been recognised by KTM-Husqvarna for the quality of its products and the service it provides to the Austrian manufacturer.
For more than a decade Industrias Galfer has been supplying brake discs for KTM and Husqvarna motorbikes, for both OEM models and Powerparts spare parts. Galfer produces Wave and Round brake discs for most KTM and Husqvarna road and off-road bikes.
Year after year KTM acknowledges Galfer as one of their best suppliers with the highest quality levels, and recently awarded the Spanish manufacturer with the KTM Supplier Quality Award 2015. Galfer said they were “honoured and grateful for this special recognition”.

| Galfer CEO, Umberto Milesi |
Founded in 1952 by Maffio Milesi, the company is still owned and operated by the Milesi family - at a 6,000 sq m facility at Granollers near the Circuit de Catalunya. Industrias Galfer employs some 50 people altogether at all its locations, and makes more than 500,000 brake discs and in excess of one million brake pad sets a year. Galfer exports to over 50 countries and has two sister companies, Galfer USA and the recently formed IG Italia.
Commenting on the accolade from KTM-Husqvarna, present day CEO and founder’s son Umberto Milesi said that “all our discs, pads and brake lines are designed and manufactured to the strictest possible quality control standards. The production process begins in the R&D Department - the materials we use are developed in our own laboratories and subjected to rigorous chemical analysis and physical testing.
“Our Methodology Department designs the production processes with the Engineering Department, and finally, the Quality Department certifies the quality and reliability of our products according to ISO standards. We apply the same attention to detail and standards to all our products, OEM fitment and retro-fit. We are continually introducing new technologies, new procedures, new materials and new product designs so we can guarantee that all our customers are receiving the best products on the market”.
