Making a meaningful difference.

Can innovation set the standard for sustainability? We’re driving down harmful emissions in pursuit of better, cleaner braking. We’ve taken action to reduce emissions, cut waste and recycle abrasive material from production. And we’re helping to set the course for a sustainable production cycle with stringent testing and standards development. That’s what we do in the pursuit of excellence.

Interview with a Friction Expert: Clément de Valon

“Brake pads are important for the safety of all road users and will still be a factor for car drivers in 2030 and 2040.”

Interview with a Friction Expert: Marco Loth

“In the future workshops will no longer replace a brake pad because it is worn down to a millimetre, but because of corrosion.”
