Juratek braking goes from strength to strength

Frasle Mobility brand, Juratek, has added more than 300 calipers to its comprehensive product portfolio, with the company continuing to build on its 30-year reputation for supplying high-quality products for passenger car and light commercial vehicles.

After introducing calipers to its range six years ago, the team has remained committed to research and development to ensure customer demand can be met.

“It was a natural progression,” said Matt Leeming, Head of Product Management (EMEA) at Frasle Mobility. “We talk to our customers regularly and they were keen to have a larger range of calipers, especially given the success they have in selling the Juratek brand.”

The additional 358 numbers introduced since September 2024 means the range now consists of over 900 calipers and has increased vehicle parc coverage to over 33 million vehicles.

Applications for the new additions include Mk.7 Volkswagen Golf, Audi A1 2019-, Ford Focus 2018- and Fiesta 2017-, Hyundai i30 2016- and Ceed 2018-, Mazda CX-3 2015-, and many more popular applications.

Leeming continued: “We’re not only committed to meeting application demand in our product development process, which most other suppliers will do, but we have gone a step further and developed a system where we look at a customers’ stock levels, and introduce a range based on local vehicle population. This ensures we are developing parts that are important to our individual customers.”

Despite this added impetus on the caliper range, Juratek is still hard at work developing new discs and friction products. In the last year the company launched almost 250 new parts including replacements for the OE bi-metallic disc for Mercedes and Land Rover applications.

Leeming concluded: “Juratek calipers are 100 percent new and therefore surcharge free, which means there’s no need to manage old core and the inconvenience that can be associated with collection and processing, which can ultimately drain the profitability of this product range. It also means there is no surcharge value sat on the shelf tying up capital.”
