Global Reman Day on 8th April was particularly special for Brake Engineering which is celebrating its 40th year of remanufacturing in 2021, as the company continues to offer its ‘Original Aftermarket’ promise to provide the industry with complete traceability and reliability.

Global Reman Day focuses on the successes of remanufacturers and looked to progress the industry and raise awareness to the benefits of remanufacturing. With its remanufacturing processes carried out in the UK, Brake Engineering has led the market in the production of calipers since 1981. The company is in complete control of the remanufacturing process, remanufacturing parts to the highest standard before adding them to its range.

Brake Engineering point out that when remanufacturing calipers, only the core should be reused, having been subject to strict acceptance criteria and undergoing a stringent quality remanufacturing process that involves its inspection, dismantling, cleaning, rebuild and test. Brake Engineering calipers are also electroplated with a chrome 6 free finish to extend the life of the caliper.

All wearing parts are replaced with brand new components and the caliper housing is also given a corrosion resistant, zinc-plated finish that abides by current EU legislation. The caliper is then pressure tested to strict quality guidelines, with batch marking being used for essential traceability.

The term ‘Original Aftermarket’ comes from extensive market research undertaken by Brake Engineering in the automotive industry, designed to determine what customers expect from a supplier in terms of service, range, availability, reliability and support. Brake Engineering says it is clear in its message to customers and promotes transparency in areas such as product quality, technical support and customer service.
