Industrial Disc Brakes 

Howdon have been associated with Twiflex for over 30 years. Howdon are a main distributor and stockist for Twiflex disc brakes and thrusters and has experience with industries worldwide. 

 

Twiflex, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal Rexnord, was founded in 1946 as an engineering research company. In the late 1950s disc brakes were found to give performance advantages in the automotive industry and, as this technology became more widely recognised, industrial applications soon followed. 

 

In 1951, Twiflex introduced disc brake technology for industrial applications, designing a range of calipers for use in the steel, paper and marine sectors. So commenced a continual programme of innovative braking solutions, becoming the first in disc brake design, reliable performance and application. 

 

Today, Twiflex offers the world’s widest range of industrial disc brakes and thrusters. 

 

In addition to Twiflex products, Howdon is also proud to distribute Svendborg Brakes, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Rexnord.
