Brake disc maker upbeat despite cost pressures

Carbon fibre brake disc manufacturer Surface Transforms (ST) says it remains optimistic that annual sales will almost triple to £23m in 2024 despite further cost pressures.

In January ST reported sales of £8.3m for the 12 months to December 31, a rise of 63% on 2022. It said it had finally put “a very difficult 18 months” as it grappled with the “growing pains” of installing extra production capacity.
