Goodridge Ltd

What Goodridge Ltd does

Goodridge Limited is a UK-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of high-performance fluid transfer systems, founded in 1969 and operating from Exeter with 400+ employees across 10 facilities in 9 countries. Its core technology centres on PTFE-lined hose with stainless steel and aramid fibre braiding (the G-Line Ultra, XF, and 710 series, plus the 200, 536, 600, 700 and G-Flex 711 ranges), engineered for fuel, oil, coolant, brake/clutch, hydraulic and pneumatic service in extreme conditions up to 180°C and 20,000 psi test pressures. Manufacturing is vertically integrated, with in-house CNC tube bending, TIG welding, brazing, 3D printing for rapid prototyping, and 100% pressure testing on all products.

The company sells across four primary segments: OEM (supercars, special-edition vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs, military vehicles and electric vehicles under IATF 16949), Motorsport/Racing (Formula 1, BTCC, NASCAR, MotoGP, MXGP, WRC, endurance and superbike teams), Performance Aftermarket (stainless braided brake/clutch/fuel line kits and fittings through distributors and e-commerce), and a niche Defence/Industrial vertical supported by JOSCAR and EASA certifications. Revenue is generated through quote-based OEM contracts, motorsport product sales with a 48-hour standard and 24-hour emergency turnaround, aftermarket catalogue and e-commerce sales via distributors, and design-and-build consultancy for bespoke fluid transfer solutions. Go-to-market combines dedicated direct sales teams for OEM and Racing with a global distributor network, complemented by motorsport sponsorships, defence and performance trade shows (Xponential Europe, PMW Expo), and a 2025-launched CAD Data Portal for OEM engineers.
