Hella Pagid: Range of Brake Products Continues to Grow

Essen, December 20th, 2018. Safety, comfort and durability are the top priorities when
it comes to brakes. This is why brake specialist Hella Pagid continuously develops and
expands its product range. Workshops benefit from the OEM quality of the products as
well as the company's comprehensive know-how of brake systems.

"Our aim is to be the leading full-range supplier in the independent aftermarket for
everything related to brakes and optimally support our customers by offering products
of the highest quality," affirms Thomas Gorkow, Director of Product Management &
Marketing at Hella Pagid. To this end, it is essential that high-quality spare parts be
available in expedited fashion. This includes new models in particular. With over 14,000
articles, Hella Pagid offers products for all vehicle models in the areas of wearing parts,
brake hydraulics, fluids and chemicals as well as accessories – from the compact class,
to electric vehicles, through to sports cars. The portfolio of brake discs and brake pads
covers almost 100 percent of the vehicles on European roads.

The brake caliper portfolio comprises over 2,000 items and was expanded to include an
additional 155 brake calipers in 2018. Of these, 112 are so-called "new core-free
saddles", which are delivered including premium accessories. Workshops benefit from
the core-free system as it reduces tied-up capital and red tape. With this offering, Hella
Pagid is a pioneer on the European market.

The range of over 2,300 brake pads has also been further expanded. Now, it includes
61 additional brake pads manufactured in the EU by TMD Friction for the latest car
models.

A further 29 brake discs coated to protect against corrosion round off the portfolio of
2,500 articles. The discs are also highly carbonized and therefore particularly resilient,
and they have good heat dissipation characteristics.
