Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes (BSCCB) successfully expands production capacity by 50% in Germany and Italy to meet rising demand

• Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes has expanded its production capacity by around 50% to meet growing market demand for carbon-ceramic brake discs for premium passenger cars and commercial vehicles
• The expansion of production capacity has been successfully completed at both sites – in Stezzano (Bergamo), Italy and Meitingen, Germany

After months of intensive planning and implementation, Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes (BSCCB) has successfully completed the expansion of its production capacities in Stezzano (Bergamo), Italy and Meitingen, Germany. The investments made have increased production capacity by around 50%. This extensive expansion enables BSCCB to meet the growing demand and increasing requirements of their automotive customers, particularly in the premium and luxury segments, where high brake performance is required.

At the SGL Carbon site in Meitingen, two new production halls with a total area of around 8,500 m² were constructed in just 14 months. At the Stezzano (Bergamo) site, the production areas in the existing buildings were expanded by around 4,000 m². At both sites, state-of-the-art production facilities with numerous modern systems were installed in a short period of time, enabling high-performance and efficient production. The entire process chain, from forming and machining to assembly, was expanded and optimized.

The investments made both contribute to increasing capacity and improve process efficiency and quality. The degree of automation has been further increased, with conscious attention paid to maintaining the necessary flexibility and experience in the manufacturing process. "With the expansion of our production capacities in Stezzano and Meitingen, we are setting a decisive course for the future. We are making our production future-proof, thereby ensuring that we can reliably meet the demands and needs of our customers. The combination of proven technology and targeted innovations strengthens our position in the international market", explain Florian Hofner and Nicola Frambrosi, managing directors of Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
