About us,
3 generations
and counting

Industrial Friction Material Ltd is a leading specialist manufacturer and supplier in the friction industry with an impressive list of small and blue chip clients across the globe. Founded by Cecil Price over 40 years ago, after having worked for Ferodo from 1941, Cecil had built up a trusted and respected reputation and the business has now developed into a three generation family business. We are a well-respected and trusted supplier in the industry and are going from strength to strength and diversifying our outlook as technologies develop.

Some major work we’ve undertaken recently includes manufacturing slipping clutch parts for a Siemens Rail point machine which is in worldwide use, exporting bespoke brake blocks for Hitachi Turbine electric generators to the Indian sub-continent, plus a request to establish workshops in Saudi Arabia duplicating our successful operation in South Wales. We have also appointed a distributor for the African continent. As a result we have an enviable worldwide reputation for both quality and service.

We are fortunate to have clients amongst some of the world’s top ‘blue chip’ organisations, such as Corus UK, Tata Steel, Railtrack and National Power to name but a few.
