more than 35 years of passion
The story of Beringer begins in 1985 at Châtelneuf, when Gilbert Beringer, passionate about road rally in sidecar, decides to create a range of wheels and forks for its vehicles. This bold choice marks the beginning of an exceptional adventure that still shapes the landscape of the industry today.
In 1990, faced with the monopoly of the company Brembo on the global market for motorcycle braking systems, Beringer reacted by developing cast iron discs.
Success is at the rendezvous, propelling the company towards the creation of the first braking systems. These brake discs, available for a variety of motorcycles, are accompanied by a range of calipers since 1993.
The year 1997 marks a major turning point with the development of a branch dedicated to the study and production of disc braking prototypes for all types of vehicles, ranging from bicycles to cars, including quads.
From 1999 to 2001, Beringer evolved into an SA with a capital of 250,000 francs. In collaboration with Carbone Industrie, the company produces brake calipers for Formula 1, equipping Ferrari and Prost Grand Prix for three seasons.
Encouraged by its success in the motorcycle world, Beringer decides to expand its offer with high-end calipers and competition for cars.
In July 2009, Emile Di Serio, owner of Saint Jean Industrie, a company specialized in the engineering and production of aluminium components for the automotive industry, acquires Beringer with the clear determination to revitalize the company’s activity.
From 2010, the company invests in modern equipment, including a laser machine and a machining center. In a quest for autonomy, an anodizing line was installed in the spring of 2013, making the company practically autonomous, with the exception of chrome, hard nickel and polished finishes carried out by external contractors.
Always in search of innovation, in 2019, Beringer expands its skills by designing BMX Race pedals specially developed for competition. Building on this success, the company launches, from 2020, in the creation of a Made In France e-MTB, fully developed internally. In the same dynamic, the development of bicycle braking also begins at this time.
In 2023, Beringer strengthens its production capacity by acquiring a new digital control.
2024 marks the international launch of the Beringer electric bike and braking system specially designed for mountain biking, DH and e-MTB.
