Friction Technology Ltd is a specialist manufacturer of high-performance friction materials and safety-critical brake and clutch components. We support OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across aerospace, defence, renewables, wind energy and industrial safety equipment, providing engineering-led programme support from early development through to serial production. Our team works closely with customer engineering and quality functions, including active programme support for major OEMs, operating within tightly controlled qualification and delivery frameworks.

FTL is AS9100 accredited and JOSCAR registered, operating under robust quality and compliance systems designed for safety-critical applications where consistency, traceability and reliability are non-negotiable. Our approvals and certifications include:

- AS9100 aerospace quality management

- ISO 9001 quality management systems

- ISO 14001 environmental management

- ISO 45001 occupational health and safety

- JOSCAR registered supplier status

With hundreds of proprietary and customer-specific friction formulations, we manufacture organic, composite and specialist materials tailored to demanding operating environments. Beyond materials, we produce complete friction components and brake assemblies in-house, managing the full process from formulation and machining through to finishing and inspection. This integrated capability eliminates the need for multiple suppliers, reduces risk, shortens lead times and improves programme control.

We are not a catalogue supplier. We act as an extension of our customers’ engineering teams, delivering friction solutions that perform predictably, repeatedly and safely in the most demanding applications.
