The Brembo Group has inaugurated its new production hub for the manufacturing of aluminium brake calipers in Nanjing, China. The new 40,000 square metre plant sits next to an existing plant where brake discs are manufactured.

The plant employs 450 people on 67 production lines and has a capacity of more than 2 million pieces per year. 

Alberto Bombassei, President of Brembo said at the official opening, “It is with great pride that I inaugurate this new production hub in China on the occasion of the first official visit of the Chinese authorities who are here with us today. This event is dedicated to a highly tangible illustration of the innovative process and product technologies Brembo uses in the production site on behalf of its customers that operate in China. Today's inaugural event also confirms Brembo presence in one of the most strategic geographic areas as regards our growth and development.”
 
Brembo says the new plant was built according to the most progressive criteria to guarantee quality, efficiency and environmental protection with an eye to minimising waste and maximising energy recovery by applying the strictest regulations imposed by the Carbon Disclosure Project protocol.
