FDP has expanded its global manufacturing capacity by 5 million sets of disc brake pads to meet the growing requirements of aftermarket and OEM customers.

New specialty equipment was purchased from CoreSteel Hydraulics, a North American manufacturer of custom equipment for the automotive industry, along with other CoreSteel equipment. The equipment will be used at FDP’s Tappahannock, Va. facility, its Chinese facility, and a new facility planned for the third quarter of 2016, the company says.
