Successful shift of J.Juan facilities

Successful shift of J.Juan facilities

J.Juan has relocated most of its production of high-quality stainless-steel brake hoses from its headquarters to its facility in St. Cugat. We did so in just a week without disrupting supply to any of our clients worldwide. Right now, our plant in St. Cugat (Barcelona) houses the production of both our braided stainless-steel brake hoses and our brake systems.

After 23 years working at full steam, time has come for the floor of our production plant at our headquarters in Gavà to be both reworked and improved as we expect increased production for the coming years.

With a revenue of 103 million euros in 2022, J.Juan keeps investing in its future as production increases and our brands J.Juan and Braktec expand.

J.Juan is the world leader in the manufacture of meshed metallic hydraulic tubes and the second European manufacturer of motorcycle brakes. It is a company founded in 1965 in Barcelona (Spain), employs 640 people directly. The company is part of the Brembo Group, world leader of brake technology, founded in 1961 in Bergamo (Italy), with more than 12.000 employees in 15 countries on 3 continents, with 29 production and business sites.

J.Juan is now ISO 50001 certified

J.Juan just got ISO 50001, which certifies constant improvement in energy management (usage, safety, efficiency and savings). The Catalan company underwent this audit for the first time, and it passed it with remarkable success. The auditors (DNV) did not find a single non-conformity or area with room for improvement. Instead, they pointed out a total of 6 strengths, and certified us with an excellent score.

Not only that, the auditors also highlighted the outstanding engagement of J.Juan’s staff — congratulating the team as a whole for its robust and comprehensive energy management systems.

Kawasaki Racing Team to celebrate 10 years with J.Juan at the title race in Most

Kawasaki Racing Team to celebrate 10 years with J.Juan at the title race in Most

This is the 10th season, where the Kawasaki Racing Team sports hydraulic hoses by J.Juan. The WorldSBK project managed by Roda brothers has claimed victory in 7 out of the last 9 WorldSBK seasons: six with Jonathan Rea and one with Tom Sykes.

On Thursday, J.Juan’s logo is going to shine on Kawasaki equipment throughout a title race. Round-6 of this year’s championship in the Czech Republic is a title race for KRT.

Last year, Rea’s and Lowes’ motorbikes wore our name for the Catalunya Round in Montmelo, and the first time KRT wore J.Juan logos for a title race was in at the 2015 Aragon Round.

For the 9th consecutive year, J.Juan bets on the Kawasaki Racing Team, the leading team in the World Superbike Championship.

Led by Guim and Biel Roda, the Kawasaki team won 7 world titles in 9 years (1 with Tom Sykes and another 6 consecutives for Jonathan Rea). They are one of the best teams in recent WorldSBK history.

The Kawasaki Racing Team sports a complete system of hydraulic brake hoses by J.Juan. Its tubing is made out of an unexpandable mesh steel, and it doesn’t budge to the heat. That gives riders unparalleled consistency in feeling when braking.

Jonathan Rea defined it as follows: “I use J.Juan’s brake hoses on my Kawasaki because they allow me to have the same feeling with the brakes from the first corner to the last”. Hydraulics are responsible for sending the pressure applied by pilots from levers and pedals to calipers. Pilots know braking is as important as giving gas in order to smash records and step onto the podium. That’s why our product is extremely valued by them.
