Brembo Ceramic Brake Systems (BCBS), based in the new Kilometro Rosso Science and Technology Park, was set up in 2004 as fifty-fifty Joint Venture by Brembo and Daimler Chrysler (today Daimler AG), the aim being to become a leading company in manufacturing of composite ceramic braking systems for automotive and in research and development for innovative materials.
Both partners contribute to the new company with their own know-how and its laboratories and manufacturing facilities for the development and experimental production of brake discs.
At present Brembo Ceramic Braking Systems S.p.A. (BCBS) designs and manufactures ceramic brake discs for the car industry. At a later stage the company is planning to develop, manufacture and distribute other components of braking systems. Research and development activities are particularly intense at BCBS: the Carbon Composit Material (CCM) is being used since 1970’s for braking systems for aerospace vehicles and since 1980’s for the racing world. Since 2000’s, the CCM is being used in the production of braking systems for sport cars.
The CCM guarantees advantages in terms of performance in dry and wet conditions, weight, comfort, corrosion resistance, high lifetime and technical image.
Applications: All models of Ferrari, Mercedes SLR, Pagani Zonda, GM Corvette ZR1, Aston Martin DBS, Alfa Romeo 8C.
