Ilmberger Carbon was founded in 1990 by German racer Julius Ilmberger and was born from a personal enthusiasm for the strong but lightweight material, carbon and his search for suitable products to use in racing. Such was the demand for well made quality carbon parts that the company grew quickly and became a manufacturer of street products too. Setting high standards from the very beginning, the German company was the first carbon manufacturer to be granted ABE/TUV certification for the domestic market and it embraced autoclave production techniques very early in its history enabling it to build the reputation for quality and precision that it still enjoys today. In addition to their extensive range of aftermarket carbon parts, Ilmberger continue to demonstrate their quality assurance by being genuine accessory suppliers to BMW and Ducati.
