About Fibrax Group

Fibrax Limited was established in London in 1902 as a manufacturer of bicycle clutch and brake linings. The company enjoyed steady growth and was bought by the current owners, the O’Brien family, in 1975 with a vision to expand and move into new industrial markets.
As the cycling division extended its product range, new opportunities simultaneously arose in the automotive and industrial sectors, which resulted in the company investing in new manufacturing headquarters in Wrexham, North Wales. By 1985, Fibrax was operating as a highly successful rubber and plastics injection moulding company supplying quality components worldwide. With the rise of global demand, our facility in Wrexham underwent several extensions to
accommodate new equipment. In 2004, we acquired a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Poland and have since forged production partnerships in Morocco and Turkey. In 2018, we acquired a new manufacturing facility in Morocco.
As a family-owned business, we know our people are critical to the success of our continued growth. We therefore support our employees by providing regular training and opportunities for development. By combining their knowledge and understanding with our latest equipment and machinery, we are able to consistently produce high performance components. As such, Fibrax operates as a highly responsive, full service global manufacturer of polymeric mouldings and assemblies.
