After its founding in 1873 the company, managed by August Bilstein, produced window hardware. In the 1950s the family owned company started to produce gas-pressure shock absorbers: the stepping stone to BILSTEIN's success. From then on this manufacturer of shock absorbers and suspension systems has been one of the leading motorsport suppliers. Together with Porsche in the long distance championship and at the Dakar Rally, or with McLaren in the Formula 1, or Schnitzer-BMW in the previous DTM, and AMG-Mercedes in the later DTM – a multitude of motorsport companies have achieved their success with products from BILSTEIN. "The book '50 Years of BILSTEIN Motor Sport' impressively illustrates the history of our company. Current BILSTEIN products combine innovative technologies with the experience from 50 years of motor sport”, according to Dirk Spohr, Motor Sport Director at BILSTEIN.
The book "50 Years of BILSTEIN Motor Sport“ is now available in limited edition in German and English exclusively from the BILSTEIN fan shop at www.bilstein.de.
