Researsch and Development
At Friction Master, we constantly search for better, improved friction materials and technologies. We were the first to introduce new applications, for example, before vehicles hit the independent aftermarket (IAM). We currently utilize the most advanced OE technologies such as positive molding, scorching, and multi-layer shims with VSS™(Vulcanized Silencing System) in disc brake pads. Enhanced iron materials and application-specific cooling vane configurations in brake disc rotors further demonstrate our commitment to innovation and exceptional qualityManufacturing, Quality Control, and Testing
Our manufacturing and quality control processes take place in the USA, Mexico and China. All manufacturing facilities are ISO/TS16949 certified with products certified for each local market such as AMECA (USA), ECE R90 (EU), EAC (Eurasian Customs Union), and many more. And Friction Master® tests its products exhaustively as well: in the lab, on the street and, most importantly, on the track.Environment
Our brand is also devoted to responsibility and consciousness of our planet. Examples of this include our Copper-Free Brake Initiative in friction formulas per CA/WA regulations and our use of corrugated recycles packaging and water-based paints.
