EBC Brakes the manufacturers of the largest range of brakes in the world is expanding again.

As soon as the paint was dry on the new massive Pineham distribution Centre the Company has acquired a further 7 Acres of prime real estate immediately adjacent its current Pineham location to allow further expansion in the years ahead.

The actual content of the expansion program remains a secret at this time but will underpin the current activities of EBC Brakes as a world leader in the manufacture of disc brake pads and brake rotors/brake discs for cars and motorcycles.

EBC Brakes started business in 1978 and has grown to be one of the producers of cutting edge eco friendly brake pads in its UK Bristol manufacturing plant known as EFI.

Being the first Company to finally replace the sulphides used by all producers of brakes the Company has embarked on a world leading program for non toxic brake pads. The recent finalisation of its Railway ECOPAD program , also a world first, brings a pad made from 100% recyclable and naturally grown and sustainable friction materials.

Famous products from EBC Brakes include Greenstuff disc brake pads, Redstuff disc brake pads, Yellowstuffand Bluestuff Disc brake pads and a new range of Orangestuff full race discs pads.

The new expansion site at Pineham Northampton is being levelled at this moment in time to allow initial groundworks to commence in 2013 and exciting news about new paint,packaging and laser operations are topics in the mix for inclusion in the new site.

Meanwhile the new Pressed steel disc brake pad backing plate manufacturing centre at Pineham is up and running and will produce some 6 millions brake pad backplates in 2012 with capacity to expand to over 20 million disc brake pad backplates in future years.

The Company was recently accredited with a contract to use the NUCAP Canada NRS disc pad backplate retention system and is the first UK manufacturer to be approved for this revolutionary process.

NRS retention systems improve the bond strength of disc brake pads to the backing plates by over 300% compared to alternative methods
