Since the first of the year the Bendix team, based on customer
feedback, has launched 200 new part numbers into the
distribution channel. This addition will help Bendix customers
cover more than 2 million additional cars, trucks and SUVs on
the road today.
"Our goal is to show the channel that we are a true full line
supplier of both fast and slow moving parts, so that our
distributors need to only call one source for all their braking
needs," said Jim Kelley, Director of Sales, Americas for
Friction Materials LLC. "We are not only providing them with
the proper part numbers but also providing them with everything
they need right in the box."
All new brake pad part numbers will include the following
value-added enhancements:
1. Shims: A variety of premium noise insulators are
used across the Bendix product lines to help eliminate noise-
related comebacks. Every disc pad SKU includes a noise
insulator, and all of the insulators have been attached at the
factory.
2. Hardware: From abutment kits to spreader springs,
all necessary hardware needed to help restore OE performance,
eliminate comebacks and reduce installation time is included in
the box.
3. Wire Wear Sensors: Wear sensors allow the
vehicle's wear indicator system to operate as originally
designed. Restoring the wear indicator function is necessary
for a top-notch premium brake job.
4. Product Protection: Each brake pad set is
individually wrapped to guarantee shipment quality.
Distributors interested in learning more about the enhanced
