Elig Brake Technologies Corp. (formerly Elig Industrial Co. LTD.) was established in 1998. The founders dedicated themselves to the development of environmentally friendly products made of non-asbestos friction materials, which have been successfully applied to bicycle disc brake systems. Later, disc and drum brakes for cars, motorcycles and wet clutches made of non-asbestos environmentally friendly friction materials were also successfully developed. In order to continuously improve the products, in 2006 there was cooperation with research laboratories in the USA and Japan.
