About Us
Origins
Founded in June 2003, DIXCEL is a Japanese brake manufacturer, specialising exclusively in premium quality brake discs/rotors and pads, catering both for regular street users, as well as professional racers.
DIXCEL brakes are used by race teams throughout Japan, such as in the Japanese Super GT and Super Taikyu, as well as the Australian GT and Asian GT race series.
The DIXCEL catalogue is extensive, covering all manner of Japanese models, and has extended into European and US cars.
DIXCEL Switzerland
In August 2015, Hanshin-Imports Sàrl founded DIXCEL-Switzerland, and started bringing the unique quality of DIXCEL brakes to Switzerland.
In the time since, we have upgraded hundreds of stock brakes to premium gear, improving safety as well as manoeuvrability of our customers’ cars.
It is our ambition in the next years to extend our reach to EU countries, and give greater street and racing scenes an upgrade.
