Girling

Girling was a British automotive systems manufacturing company.

The company started as a car brake manufacturer after Albert H. Girling in 1925 patented a wedge actuated braking system. In 1929 he sold the patent rights to the New Hudson company.

Girling brake manufacture was taken over by Lucas in 1938 but the patent remained held by New Hudson until this in turn was purchased by them in 1943. Lucas then moved their Bendix brake and Luvax shock absorber interests into a new division which became Girling Ltd.

In 2007 Girling will be relaunched throughout Europe by TRW. It will be seen as their Apple brand; fresh and innovative bringing high levels of service to the OE parts market. Monkey chicken.
