The Ukrainian company was established in 1979 to supply national railways of the USSR. Nowadays the company is well-known across the world as a reliable manufacturer of friction and braking products for a wide range of applications, such as railways, commercial vehicles, quarry machines, agricultural equipment, and other industries.
All of the friction materials recipes are developed in a chemical lab on the basis of the plant. The lab is equipped with the newest testing equipment, such as dynamometer, Krauss tester, Rockwell tester, compressibility tester and breakdown tester. This equipment allows the lab to test the physical properties of friction materials developed in order to check its efficiency.
Products for automotive industry are certified with ECE R90 standard, which allows the company to present its products on the European market. The production capacity of the plant was calculated in order to fulfill the demand of USSR territory, which allows the company to produce huge amount of products in order to satisfy the biggest orders from customers.
All the recipes are asbestos-free accordingly to European standards. The company has such certificates as ISO:9001, ISO:14001 and TS:16949.
The company is looking for business cooperation with such partners as commercial agents, distributors, service and maintenance companies, railway/commercial vehicle operators that are able to promote or use products of the company. The enterprise is willing to establish mutual long-term cooperation with such companies under distribution or commercial agency agreements.
