DONGYING, China, Nov. 9, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- FRONTECH, an automotive brake component manufacturer and system solutions provider founded in 2002, showcased its advanced braking system solutions and fully automated production capabilities at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, which took place from September 8 to 12. During the exhibition, FRONTECH communicated with European aftermarket partners and gained a deeper understanding of product needs and potential collaboration opportunities in the European market.

The fair, an international trade fair for the automotive aftermarket, provided a platform for automotive parts manufacturers, distributors, importers, and service providers to exchange products, technologies, and views on market trends. This year, approximately 4,400 exhibitors from over 80 countries presented their innovative achievements for the entire automotive aftermarket and discussed how AI, electromobility, digitalization, and autonomous driving were transforming the automotive industry.

Against this backdrop, FRONTECH highlighted its automated production lines for brake discs and pads, as well as its automotive braking products portfolio. The company offers customized solutions for international distributors, wholesalers, and aftermarket brands with their diverse procurement requirements across different markets.

In the production of brake discs, FRONTECH's manufacturing process includes robotic core making, casting, finishing, surface treatment, dynamic balancing testing, and automated warehousing. The fully automated core-making system monitors key parameters such as core quality, dimensions, and curing time. The casting facility uses a digital display system to monitor the composition of molten iron to meet specified material requirements such as G3000 and GG20. FRONTECH boasts 176 fully automated brake disc finishing lines, which monitor dimensional parameters such as thickness, face runout, and diameter through online measurement equipment. Automated dynamic balancing testing and inspection can identify products that do not meet specified tolerances, ensuring batch consistency and providing a traceable quality-control basis for customers placing orders for brake pads wholesale and brake discs.

In the production of brake pads, FRONTECH utilizes automated equipment and advanced assembly lines. The automated process includes intelligent batching, hot pressing, heat treatment, curing, and raw material traceability. The annual production capacity can reach 10 million sets. Its products cover passenger car and commercial vehicle brake pads, serving applications across trucks, buses, and trailers.

During the exhibition, FRONTECH discussed product specifications, vehicle compatibility, and potential cooperation needs with European customers face to face. These exchanges helped the company gain a deeper understanding of the priorities in the local aftermarket, including compatibility requirements for common European vehicle models, the Euro 7 regulation with new requirements regarding brake particulate emissions, and related certifications such as ECE R90. This demonstrates FRONTECH's continued focus on the evolving technological and product needs of the European market.

On September 13th, FRONTECH hosted a German partner, and the two sides engaged in in-depth discussions. The client primarily focused on applications in Mazda vehicles and expressed satisfaction with FRONTECH's product quality, delivery, and service. The discussion also touched upon product requirements such as drilled and slotted brake discs and calipers, with the client expressing interest in further deepening their cooperation.

As an automotive braking system supplier, FRONTECH's products cover brake pads, brake discs, brake shoes, brake drums, calipers, and other related components. The company can provide OEM brake pads manufacturing, ODM development, and private label brake pads solutions based on international clients' needs, supporting the customization of product specifications, vehicle model adaptation, and brand packaging. These services enable importers, distributors, and wholesalers to build more suitable product portfolios around their target markets.

Simultaneously, it is estimated that by 2035, more than one-third of the vehicles on European roads will be over 16 years old.

Looking ahead, FRONTECH is optimistic about the long-term prospects of the European automotive aftermarket.
