Pedders Suspension is one of the most progressive companies in the automotive aftermarket supply business, producing a vast range of arguably the best steering and suspension products in the country.

Yet this story began over fifty years ago in a small workshop situated in the Melbourne suburb of Carnegie. At that time, when Roy Pedder began a small welding business working out of his backyard, little did he know that what he had started was to become the foundation of one of Australia's business success stories - Pedders Suspension.

With a background in specialist white metal welding, soon after opening the business, Roy began attracting repair work on shock absorbers which at that time were made from die-cast metal and fitted to imported English vehicles.
By the sixties the company was in full swing repairing all types of shock absorbers. It was at this time that the company was consolidated and changed its name from Pedders Die-Cast Welding Service to Pedders Shock Absorbers.

It was during the seventies that Pedders began producing its own brand of shock absorber, which appeared in the now famous and distinctive 'Pedders Red'. The new product range grew out of the need to modify imported shocks to be able to withstand Australian road conditions. Pedders soon decided that it was time to create a far better design of their own. The progression from re-conditioning to design and manufacture was, as with all things Pedders, a natural progression for the company. From then on, research, design, innovation and build quality spearheaded the company's amazing evolution.

With so much relying on research and development, a different more challenging environment was needed to put the results of all this effort to the test. The decision to form 'Pedders Racing' led to many achievements on the track and some valuable race-bred intelligence to take back into the workshop.

With over fifty years experience at the industry helm, its not surprising that the products that carry the Pedders name today, represent the most comprehensive range in the country. Shock absorbers for almost every car on Australian roads. Springs and suspension systems that more often than not, exceed the performance of original equipment. An array of specialist performance products and load-carrying systems. Steering products that include re-manufactured power steering assemblies, steering gears and pumps, new pressure hoses and filters. All developed to make sure that all Australian cars on today's roads..stay, on today's roads.

Today Pedders is without doubt, the number one supplier of suspension systems, steering parts and service. With over fifty years of industry experience to build on, the company has grown to become the mainstay of Australia's unique motoring history, constantly developing new and more relevant products through their innovative and unique approach to business.

As an Australian owned and family run business, Pedders has flourished throughout Australia and more recently in New Zealand and Asia. Driven by a passion for providing high quality parts and unparallel expertise and advice the company is rightly proud of its achievements and now looks forward to bigger and better things to come.
