Founded as Baer, Inc. (Baer Brake Systems) in 1994, the company was born from founder Hal Baer’s racing background in the Corvette and World Challenge Series. After identifying a gap in available braking solutions for his own race cars, Hal began adapting popular PBR and Alcon calipers to create complete brake systems—including hoses, fittings, and other components—for many popular domestic muscle cars.

Through early relationships with high-profile OEM prototype manufacturers and builders—including Chrysler, General Motors, Roush, Shelby, Foose, Mark Stielow, and Big Red—Baer became known as the premier domestic performance brake company. That reputation would later establish Baer as a leading name in the emerging Pro-Touring market.

In the early 2000s, Baer introduced its first in-house caliper, the forged Monoblock 6S, which was soon followed by the extruded and machined two-piece 6P caliper. Bringing caliper production in-house greatly reduced Baer’s reliance on outside suppliers and allowed the company to expand the development and manufacturing of additional components. This marked Baer’s transition from a systems integrator to a complete brake system manufacturer.

For the past decade and a half, Baer has continued to lead the performance brake industry from our current 62,000-square-foot facility in Phoenix, Arizona. While many great memories have been made and lasting relationships formed here, we are now bursting at the seams, and the time has come to say goodbye to our current home.

No, we’re not done—and we’re not leaving the USA. We’re moving across town to a new 108,000-square-foot facility in Glendale, Arizona.

At our new location, the entire Baer operation—from engineering and design to production, tech sales, assembly, and packaging—will be under one roof. For the past six months, our team has been working extended shifts and weekends to produce as many components as possible and minimize delays for our valued customers. However, we recognize that despite our best efforts, there may be unforeseen disruptions during the transition, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.

Once we are fully operational in our new facility, Baer will continue its commitment to engineering excellence, innovative technology, and delivering the industry’s most complete, USA manufactured, detail-oriented performance brake solutions.

Thank you for being part of the Baer story. We look forward to beginning this exciting new chapter with you.
