Brake Discs
In its Brake Disc business segment, the SHW Group develops and produces monobloc ventilated brake discs made from cast iron as well as lightweight-construction brake discs made from a combination of an iron friction ring and aluminium pot. In the company's own foundry, brake discs are produced as original equipment as well as spare parts for automobile manufacturers. In 2010 the majority of the processed brake disc castings were delivered in an unprocessed state directly to the automotive manufacturers. The remaining brake disc castings were further processed into ready-to-install brake discs.
