the company: mission to success
since 2000, gilles tooling has been providing motorcycle aficionados around the world with innovative and high-quality accessories for racing and road use. as a former motorcycle racer, gerhard gilles , the company’s founder, combines a passion for the sport with the technical knowledge of an experienced cnc milling cutter: the development of the first multivariable footrest assembly kick-started a dynamic company, which today sells its extensive product range worldwide. tried and tested on both racetrack and road, gilles products set standards in innovation, engineering know-how, performance and safety. gilles tooling shares its customers’ passion for genuine originals: authentic, technically superior, customisable. making every motorcycle one of a kind.
high-tech for high-end products
state-of-the-art cad/cam technology guarantees quick implementation, from idea to development, design and construction, and up to production – with consistently high quality. gilles tooling does not only focus on pure aesthetics, but also on maximum functionality with respect to ergonomics, performance, weight and materials. high-speed cnc cutting machines assure accuracy and precision in the machining of ultra-fine surfaces. in a production facility covering approximately 1000 square metres, complex machine tools are deployed, which transform the raw material on-site into customized components: a single source approach ensuring efficient processes and sophisticated high-end products.
proven to the max
leading world championship racing teams trust in gilles products and subject each innovation to intensive testing before it is launched on the market. gilles tooling then uses these experiences to further optimise the equipment until it is ready to hit the road. this process involves capability tests on the company’s inhouse test stand, preparation of tüv parts certificates and comprehensive documentation. the implementation ensures maximum performance and safety on the road.
