Koni – Precision Suspension Engineering

Koni have spent more than a century and a half helping people enjoy the ride. Their story began in 1857 in a small workshop in Oud-Beijerland, the Netherlands, where A. de Koning crafted leather goods for horse-drawn carriages. As transportation evolved, so did they — and by the 1930s, they were already exploring ways to make early automobiles ride smoother and handle better.

After World War II, Koni introduced something completely new: the first adjustable hydraulic telescopic shock absorber. That breakthrough set the tone for everything Koni would become — a company built on innovation, hands-on craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for improving the driving experience.

Through the years, their shocks have traveled far beyond everyday roads. From classic rallies in the 1950s to Grand Prix racing and world-championship teams, Koni quickly became a trusted name in motorsport. That same performance heritage now supports drivers around the world, whether they’re behind the wheel of a sports car, taking the family SUV on a weekend adventure, or relying on a commercial vehicle to get the job done.

Today, Koni is a global leader in high-performance shock absorbers for cars, trucks, buses, trains, and more — but they're still driven by the same simple belief: every ride should feel better. With precise engineering, durable materials, and technology that blends comfort with control, they create suspension solutions that help vehicles feel safer, smoother, and more enjoyable. Devon 4x4 is an official distributor of Koni, based in the UK, shipping worldwide.

From their humble beginnings to our worldwide presence, Koni remains committed to one thing above all — keeping you confidently in control, no matter where the road leads.
