DONGYING, China, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Automotive braking system supplier FRONTECH showcased its braking system solutions and fully automated production capabilities at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, held 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.
FRONTECH at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026
As a leading international trade fair for the automotive aftermarket, Automechanika Frankfurt provides 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 are transforming the automotive industry.
Against this backdrop, FRONTECH emphasizes its automated production lines for brake discs and pads, and 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.
Automated Brake Manufacturing for Consistent Quality
As a brake pads manufacturer and brake discs manufacturer, FRONTECH continuously promotes the production automation and quality control system construction to support product consistency for large-volume orders.
In brake disc production, FRONTECH's manufacturing process encompasses 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 density, dimensions, and curing time; the casting facility uses a digital display system to monitor molten iron composition to meet specified material requirements such as G3000 and GG20.
FRONTECH also boasts 176 fully automated brake disc finishing lines, monitoring 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, supporting batch consistency and providing a traceable quality-control basis for customers placing brake pads wholesale and brake disc orders.
In brake pad production, 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.
Building Stronger Partnerships Across the European Aftermarket
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.
A research article published by BCG (Boston Consulting Group) on September 3rd of this year, titled The European Aftermarket in 2035: The Winners Are Being Determined Now, indicates that the wholesale size of the European automotive aftermarket is projected to grow from €99 billion in 2025 to €116 billion in 2035 (excluding labor but including the independent aftermarket and original equipment suppliers). 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. "As vehicles age, the demand for reliable replacement parts will continue. We believe that suppliers who can provide consistent product quality, reliable supply, and competitive solutions will have sustained growth opportunities in this market," said Summer Wang, the GM of the business department. "FRONTECH will continue to enhance the manufacturing capabilities and automation levels, and deepen our cooperation with European customers to provide them with reliable automotive braking solutions."
