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.
