The Old Man Emu is a well-established vehicle suspension company in Australia that offers fully integrated suspension systems. The company's unique name was inspired by the Emu, a large flightless bird that lives in Australia. Drawing from the Emu's ability to run at high speeds over off-road terrain while maintaining its stability and balance. Qualities that became the calling card of Old Man Emu suspensions.

Since being launched in 1976, Old Man Emu has been designing aftermarket 4 x 4 suspensions using an in-depth testing program. Old Man Emu engineers study each target vehicle and make a series of tests on the original suspension system to analyze ride handling, load capacity, roll stability, noise, and vibration.

Using the data gathered, Old Man Emu then focus on how they can improve upon the stock suspensions. The suspension components are then designed and go through a stringent analytical process to ensure the components work together and can exceed the capacity and performance of their stock counterparts.

ARB, another Australian suspension company, purchased Old Man Emu in 1988 and together they have continued to produce the finest and most rugged suspensions suitable for Australia's harsh 4WD environments. The merger also allows the Old Man Emu to manufacture all their suspension parts at ARB state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Melbourne.
