The Brembo Group has announced the opening of a new production facility for the manufacturing of aluminum brake calipers in Nanjing, located in China's Jiangsu province.

The inauguration of the 430,000-plus-square-foot Brembo production hub comes after nearly 20 years of operation in the Chinese market.

All production stages will be integrated into the new site, from delivery of raw material to shipping the finished product, which will better serve customers in Europe, Asia and America that also operate in Asia.

The plant currently employs 450 people. With 67 production lines, the facility offers a production capacity of more than 2 million pieces per year and adopts some of the most advanced technologies available.

The new plant was also built according to progressive criteria in order “to guarantee quality, efficiency and environmental protection with an eye to minimizing waste and maximizing energy recovery by applying the strictest regulations imposed by the Carbon Disclosure Project protocol,” according to Brembo.

"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 to our growth and development," Brembo President and Chairman Alberto Bombassei said, who was on hand for the ceremony.
