Centric Parts doubles caliper reman capacity

Oct. 15, 2014

Centric Parts, a North American manufacturer and supplier of aftermarket brake components and systems, has doubled its brake caliper remanufacturing operations in response to heavy customer demand.

The company expanded operations from 80,000 to 160,000 square feet of floor space at its Carson, Calif., facility. This move coincides with shifting pad assembly and kitting operations from Carson into a portion of the recently acquired 100,000 square feet of warehouse and office space at Centric’s City of Industry campus.

“We made this move in response to a huge increase in demand from our customers,” says Dan Mendez, caliper operations manager.

“All of these units are built to our mission statement of Right Part, Right Place, Right Time and Right Price. Customers appreciate that philosophy and know that our products are the best in the aftermarket.”

The company says Centric Parts semi-loaded and Posi Quiet loaded calipers are engineered to meet or exceed the function of the original part. Using new hardware, pistons, boots and seals where necessary, each caliper is remanufactured to meet the most exacting standards.

Every Centric caliper is 100% pressure tested and inspected to guarantee proper operation and fitment, ensuring worry free performance for the life of the caliper.
