6th November 2009 - BREMBO Introduces a Complete Range of Braking Products for the Aftermarket

Brembo, the world leader in the design and manufacture of braking systems for all kind of vehicles, is proud to announce that the new comprehensive brake parts family of top quality braking products is now available on all European markets.

The company has historically supplied OE brake systems and components to the most prestigious car manufacturers and has now addressed the same high quality approach to the complete aftermarket braking range. The traditional range of brake discs and drums has been augmented by an extensive friction program: pads, hydraulic components and drum maintenance kits (with shoes, slave cylinders, automatic adjusters, springs and lubricants). Brembo's new aftermarket strategy is based on the objective to satisfy every customers’ need: a new range that offers the right product for all applications, with the appropriate technical content, an increased presence on all markets, larger territory coverage, improved time to market, service and support.

BREMBO PADS PROGRAM

The new Brembo range of aftermarket pads is a response to the constant demand by customers for a premium brake pad to match the quality of the Brembo brake disc. The Brembo pads are the result of R&D activities carried out jointly with leading carmakers and rank among the highest quality products available worldwide in terms of performance, reliability and durability.

The performance features of the new product include minimal braking distances and constant grip even at high temperatures. Other typical quality features include comfortable braking and reduced noise. Maximum braking safety is guaranteed in modern cars equipped with Brembo discs and fitted with these pads.
