Technology that delivers: Zimmermann brake pads
As a manufacturer of brake components with decades of experience, we know that every detail matters. Our brake pads are characterized by an extremely strong bond between the friction material and the backing plate (e.g., through underlayers, special adhesives, or mechanical connections between the backing plate and friction material). This prevents shearing and ensures maximum stability. The optimized thermal stability enables constant friction and prevents fading – even under high loads. You can rely on the engineering expertise that goes into each of our brake pads.
