Quality backed by expertise...the history of GAZ SHOCKS and DAMPERTECH...

Gazzard Engineering Company was formed in 1967 by Brian Gazzard and his brother Christopher, for the purposes of producing high quality machined components for the automotive industry. The first site the company occupied was in North Ockendon and at that time, the fledgling company boasted a workforce of just three, but always had an eye to future expansion.

In 1993 Gazzard Engineering were proud to attain ISO 9001 accreditation. This ensures that every product produced by the company, meets the very highest standards of workmanship and materials available anywhere in the world.
Yearly inspections by an accredited body certify that the production process remains one of uncompromising quality.

In 2000 Gazzard Engineering identified a gap in the shock absorber market and launched their own product range, Gaz Shocks. With over 20 year’s experience manufacturing components for a number of top names in the shock absorber industry this was a natural progression.With the majority of components used for the production of their shock absorbers manufactured in house, they can guarantee both the quality of their products and their competitive pricing structure.

Since the inception of Gaz Shocks, they have quickly established an enviable reputation in the kit car, stock car and classic car market place.Through their sponsorship of the Mighty Mini series, they have made major in-roads into the performance damper market for the ever popular Mini.This has resulted in an upsurge in sales worldwide, including an increased market share in Japan.
