The new facility, located in Middletown, Pa., has increased production capacity with an improved layout to optimize process flow and the addition of a specialized transit shoe production cell, the company says. The facility also is said to feature an upgraded training room with a complete air brake system display board and a wheel-end stand for foundation brake training.
Haldex offers a nationwide network of friction centers that supply remanufactured brake shoes, new brake shoes and brake lining across North America. The company says more than $2 million have been invested in these facilities in the last four years to insure all locations meet exact manufacturing standards with state-of-the-art equipment. The new facility is consistent with Haldex’s Next Generation Business Model standards that have been implemented throughout the Haldex Friction Center network, the company says.
