J.Juan will invest 1 million euros in the research and development of new braking systems

J. Juan – The J.Juan Group will invest 1 million euros in the research and development of new braking systems, in particular for the manufacturing of calipers and brake master cylinders. For the J.Juan Group the concept of mechanization is important for the success of its business based on the methodology of industrial processes and management.

The J.Juan Group will count on the collaborations of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness for this important activity as well as the innovative department R&D of IK4-IDEKO, a private technology center in the Basque Country specializing in industrial manufacturing and production technologies. The investment planned by the J.Juan Group will focus on improving production processes, with the aim of reach the forefront in the technology and efficiency of braking systems for both production and racing motorcycles.

Even if the group is not yet well known in the two-wheel industry, some racing bikes adopt the same components J.Juan and Braktec, its off-road brand, are very close to the 2015 title in the Superbike and Trial World Championships, respectively with Kawasaki and Montesa-Honda. Furthermore, the J.Juan Group was chosen as a partner by CBI Chassis Brakes International, the multinational with 12 production plants for braking systems for the automotive sector in the world. Through this agreement, J.Juan technology will be transferred to improve the production of hydraulic brake master cylinders and brake calipers for two- and three-wheelers in India.
