Bilstein

WAY MORE Than a Shock Absorber

For nearly 70 years, BILSTEIN has been fueled by the passion for perfect driving dynamics and the relentless pursuit of crafting the ideal shock absorber. Their mission: shaping the present and future of chassis construction.

Originating from Altenvoerde in 1873, BILSTEIN's journey began with window fittings, gradually expanding into the automotive realm by introducing innovative products like chrome-plated bumpers and functional side-car jacks.

In the 1950s, BILSTEIN revolutionized shock absorber technology with the development of the monotube gas pressure shock absorber, enhancing active driving safety. This breakthrough led to collaborations with top car manufacturers worldwide, including Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, and Porsche.

Their expertise extends beyond manufacturing to motorsport, where BILSTEIN shocks have secured victories in rally championships, Formula 1 races, and renowned 24-hour endurance events.

With a comprehensive product portfolio spanning original equipment, aftermarket, and motorsport applications, BILSTEIN ensures uncompromising quality and performance. Their commitment to excellence is evident in rigorous road tests conducted at their own facilities, guaranteeing top-notch suspension solutions.

From humble beginnings to becoming a subsidiary of Thyssenkrupp, BILSTEIN remains dedicated to advancing suspension technology, poised to further solidify its status as a global leader in driving dynamics for years to come.
