Akebono Brake Industry Co., Ltd. (曙ブレーキ工業, Akebono Burēki Kōgyō) is a Japanese manufacturer of brake components for automobiles, motorcycles, trains, and industrial machinery.
The company was founded by Sanji Osame in 1929 as Akebono Sekimen Kogyosho as a response to the demand by the Japan Army Authority for ground transport; its first products were brake linings used by the government entity.[3] Today it is now a large company with a significant overseas presence and wide range of brake products for many applications.
