The success story of our brake pistons began in 1994, with the development of the first deep-drawn piston, which replaced the standard gray cast-iron piston. Thanks to the massive savings in costs and weight, our brake pistons quickly became a lasting success story.
Since then, Erdrich has been constantly improving its deep-drawn pistons, which are now in their fourth generation. Our portfolio of pistons covers diameters from 36 to 66 mm for front and rear axle applications. All pistons are optimized for minimum weight and maximum strength thanks to our optimized deep-drawing process. It is not for nothing that we have become one of the world's leading manufacturers of metal brake pistons for generations and to this day, with five highly automated production lines in four production plants worldwide and a capacity of approximately 40 million pistons per year.
