We transfer this expertise to the independent aftermarket so that you always stop safely. On the other hand, we supply small cars like the Audi A1. On the one hand, we provide equipment for high-performance sports cars such as the Porsche 911. Leading car manufacturers trust the quality of our original equipment. They include, for example, the angled friction material. These measures and devices effect a further improvement in overall braking performance and driving comfort. It gives the finished product a spotless finish as well as reliable corrosion protection. The final touch for our brakes is the powder coating. In every case their quality, strength, and tolerances fulfil the extremely high requirements of the particular braking system: the best conditions for trouble-free operation and a long lifetime. Not one-size-fits-all but brake-specific designs in different grades of steel determine the quality of our carrier plates. The specially developed adhesive permanently connects the pad material to the carrier plate and also guarantees particularly high shear resistance. It improves hardness, crack resistance, and the comfort-related properties of the brake pad and also reduces heat transfer, ensures a high degree of shear protection, and even optimizes noise behavior. The intermediate layer possesses almost universal properties. The competitive advantage here is provided by the 50 different formulations mentioned above. The friction material has to fulfil extremely demanding tasks and therefore needs to be precisely tailored to the relevant area of use. An overview of all our product benefits is available here: For Hella Pagid Brake Systems, maximum safety and performance are key. The program puts our brake pads through up to 300,000 test kilometers and 1,000 hours of test bed testing before releasing them for serial production. The standards are always the exacting requirements and performance specifications of the vehicle and braking system manufacturers.

Products are tested, not only at the group's own research and development center, but also on the roads under real conditions.

Tests are hugely important at Hella Pagid Brake Systems. What's more, Hella Pagid Brake Systems disc brake pads are found in almost 100 % of the vehicles on the roads of Western Europe. These are designed to precisely reflect the respective requirements of the various vehicle types, brake systems, engine outputs, driving loads, and braking characteristics. The Hella Pagid Brake Systems brake pads range comprises more than 2,300 items, manufactured in line with 50 different recipes.
