ATE Brake pads rear and front

What is necessary to know about ATE brake pads/shoes

1. Brake pads and shoes under ATE brand are produced since 1958.
2. The parts belong to the premium price segment.
3. Production of the components is performed at factories that belong to a large German concern – Continental AG. Production facilities are located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, as well as in the Czech Republic.
4. The following types of these spare parts are produced:
   • Ceramic. They provide safe and efficient braking without extra noise. They are notable for eco-friendliness and long service life.
   • Made of alloys of various metals. The materials used ensure high strength of the parts and good heat dissipation.
   • With wear indicator. The spare parts presented in catalogues are equipped with a mechanical or electronic sensor signalling the need for their replacement. In the first case, when minimum acceptable thickness of the parts is reached, screeching is heard; in the second – the corresponding dashboard indicator activates when the parts are worn out.
   • Without wear indicator. For the parts of such kind, the necessity of replacement can be assessed during a routine vehicle inspection.
5. Production sites of the German company with a long-term history of braking systems development comply with ISO 9001 standards. This means that ATE brake pads/shoes correspond with all European quality standards.
6. Use of materials resistant to mechanical damages, availability of a special antinoise layer, and optimum beveled shape of the edges of the parts provide their efficient and long-lasting operation. Moreover, the car parts can be ordered in a kit with mounting elements, which significantly facilitates their replacement.

When it comes to quality, “very good” is not enough for us. We meet high quality management standards; and as for the European safety standard ECE-R90, ATE even exceeds it, In addition, we carry out numerous additional tests, including wear resistance and thermal performance. Sustainability is also of high importance to us: we convert the compounds for ATE brake pads to copper-free materials and use ATE Ceramic to achieve low abrasion. We only use an environmentally friendly material for the coating of brake discs. In addition, we remanufacture such products as brake calipers. Other manufacturers use ten different friction compounds for the lining of their brake pads. We use over 150 of them, and our internal tests are far more stringent than required by the appropriate regulations. As a result, we can offer the optimum brake pads for every vehicle type - with 98% coverage in Europe - using, mainly, OEM friction compounds. Thus, motorists can rely on maximum safety and maximum comfort. Which can only be ensured by an original quality.
