About our Brake Rotors

Friction One brake discs are engineered for precision, durability, and safety — from molten metal to final packaging. As a fully vertically integrated manufacturer, we control every step of production in-house, including foundry casting, precision machining, coating, and final assembly.

We deliver a full range of replacement disc brake rotors including standard replacement, performance, and specialty applications. All brake discs are engineered and manufactured to match Original Equipment fit, form, and function - down to the vane shape, count, and mass.

Each rotor is produced from high-strength G3000 and GG20 alloys, CNC-machined, dynamically balanced, and finished to exacting standards for smooth, vibration-free braking. Our advanced coatings and painting lines provide superior corrosion resistance and a clean, OE-quality appearance.

Friction One discs feature strict thickness and runout control, non-directional finishes, and OE-style vane counts for optimal cooling and heat dissipation. Whether for passenger cars or commercial vehicles, Friction One discs provide consistent performance, long life, and OE-level fit and finish. With complete in-house control — from tooling and molds to final packaging — Friction One ensures consistent quality, rapid lead times, and unmatched reliability across every disc we deliver.

About our Brake Pads

Friction One brake pads are designed for quiet, consistent, and confident braking performance — engineered from the backing plate up in our fully vertically integrated manufacturing system. Every pad is produced in-house, using our own precision-stamped backing plates, premium shim materials, and OE-grade friction formulations.

Our facilities feature automated positive-mold presses, robotic material handling, and computer-controlled curing ovens to ensure consistent density, pressure, and friction stability across every batch. These advanced systems replicate OE manufacturing processes to deliver smooth pedal feel, low noise, and reliable stopping power in all driving conditions.

Each pad is fitted with laser-cut noise reduction shims made from Trelleborg and Wolverine materials — the same used by leading global OEMs — and matched with corrosion-resistant hardware for a complete installation.

With full in-house control over stamping, friction mixing, pressing, scorching, painting, and packaging, Friction One guarantees exceptional consistency, rapid lead times, and dependable performance from the first stop to the last.
