Research and development is a key part of our success at Pacbrake. With state of the art laboratories and full engine testing facilities, we ensure all our products are designed and engineered with the best engine integration.
Using modern CAD tools and high end simulation packages, Pacbrake is able to substantially reduce the development and testing time. Our cell manufacturing capabilities utilize the latest practices in lean manufacturing to deliver products on-time and within budgets. Our investment in high end CNC milling, turning and grinding equipment allows us to produce components with tolerances of 2 microns (0.002mm). This ensures precision in every component we build.
Pacbrake is looking towards the future and developing auxiliary braking solutions for the next generation. As technology changes, so do we. Being able to adapt to the ever-changing needs in the industry has kept Pacbrake a leader in producing top quality design solutions to OEMs worldwide.
