Quality
Our product range in the brake pads sector includes over 1,000 different items, covering the vast majority of vehicles currently on the road. To ensure wholesalers have rapid access to our products, we maintain a warehouse with the capacity to store more than 120,000 sets of brake pads.

Every vehicle has its own unique characteristics and therefore specific requirements for brake pads. Our products are made using up to 25 different raw materials, carefully combined to achieve the highest standards of quality, reliability, and safety. Each brake pad undergoes a rigorous 2–3 year development process, including extensive road testing. The “OE Approvals” from leading automobile manufacturers are a testament to the expertise and precision of our specialists.

Your Advantages:

• Over 1,000 product variants
• Large storage capacity (120,000 sets) for rapid availability
• OE quality standards
• OES quality 
• Long service life Smooth and consistent braking performance
• Complies with ECE R90 regulations
• Excellent corrosion protection
• Complete range from a single supplier

 
What they do: 

• The pads are engineered to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy by pressing against the brake disc—a controlled friction process that brings the vehicle to a stop with minimal fade and consistent feel.
• ZIMMERMANN uses friction-material mixtures drawn from up to 25 different raw-material types, tailored to vehicle and braking system demands.
• The result is a braking solution that boasts long lifespan, very smooth performance, and largely conforms to ECE R90 standards for defined braking behaviour and safety. 
• Comfort-oriented features—such as damping plates, directional bevels, grooves and tuned vibration-absorbing layers—help suppress noise and vibration while maintaining crisp response. 

Why brake pads fail:

• Wear-out of friction material: Over time, the pad material becomes thinner and loses its capacity to generate sufficient friction—leading to longer stopping distance and reduced effectiveness.
• Glazing or thermal overload: When subjected to repeated heavy braking or high temperature without proper match to the disc, the pad surface can harden (glaze) or lose its ideal friction coefficient, reducing deceleration.
• Uneven contact or mismatch: If the pad and disc aren’t perfectly paired (material mismatch, incorrect installation, warped disc) then only part of the pad surface may work, causing hotspots, uneven wear, vibration or faster failure.
• Loss of comfort/design features: Without the built-in damping/chamfering/tuned geometry, pads may generate noise, harshness, uneven wear or premature damage—especially in compact performance systems where tolerances are tight.

Why they should be replaced:

• Ensuring the braking system delivers its designed stopping power means you maintain safe deceleration, consistent pedal feel and proper response under emergency or repeated use.
• Replacing before performance degrades protects other components—worn pads can harm the brake discs, calipers or result in higher repair cost.
• Comfort and refinement are part of the product promise: the ZIMMERMANN pad set’s smooth operation and low-noise design mean you preserve vehicle refinement, not just raw performance.
• Compliance matters: Because the pads largely conform to ECE R90, using a worn or incompatible pad may move you away from the standardised braking behaviour expected for your vehicle, especially important in high-end or performance cars.
• The development pedigree behind the pads (2–3 years of development cycles, extensive test-miles) means the replacement component offers replacement-grade quality rather than a generic substitute.

What they do

• These pad units convert the motion of your vehicle into stopping power by pressing the friction material against the disc, transforming kinetic energy into heat in a controlled manner—ensuring reliable deceleration, consistent response and minimal fade.
• The pb:z line uses friction-material mixtures drawn from up to 25 different raw materials, tailored specifically for each vehicle’s braking system and usage profile.
• Manufactured with careful control of temperature, pressure and time, the production process ensures that each pad set meets the design criteria for braking comfort, precision and functional safety.
• Your advantage: the pb:z range in ‘OES-quality’ (Original Equipment-Standard quality) delivers highest level of brake comfort, precision for highest functional safety, and is available for some special applications.
• Further benefits: long lifespan, very smooth performance, and conformity to ECE R90 standards for braking performance.
  
  

Why brake pads fail

• Friction-material wear: Over time, the pad material thins, reducing the effective contact area and friction coefficient. When the pad becomes too thin, stopping distance increases and performance deteriorates.
• Thermal overload or glazing: Under repeated heavy braking or mismatched pad/disc pairing, the surface can harden or glaze, losing its ideal friction characteristics—leading to fade or uneven braking.
• Uneven pad-to-disc contact: If pads don’t make full uniform contact due to disc warpage, caliper misalignment, or incorrect installation, only portions of the pad carry load, which accelerates wear or creates hotspots.
• Corrosion or contaminants: Although the pb:z line offers optimal corrosion protection, external factors (salt, water ingress, lack of maintenance) can degrade surfaces, impairing pad stability and life.
• Loss of comfort/damping features: If design features like damping plates or proper backing-plates are compromised, then vibration, noise or uneven wear may emerge—reducing the pad’s effective lifespan or creating failure symptoms.

Why they should be replaced

• Maintain stopping power and safety: To retain predictable braking distances, consistent pedal feel and full system responsiveness, the pad set must operate within specification. Once friction material wears beyond safe limits, system performance suffers.
• Protect the rest of the braking system: Worn or failing pads can lead to disc damage, caliper piston overheating, or uneven rotor wear—resulting in higher repair costs down the line.
• Preserve refinement and driving comfort: The pb:z pad set offers smooth, quiet operation with minimal noise or vibration. Replacing at the correct time preserves that comfort and refined braking feel.
• Conform to regulatory and planned performance standards: Since these pads are designed to comply with ECE R90 and built to high-precision standards, replacing them at appropriate intervals ensures you retain this benchmark level of braking behaviour and safety.
• Match the development pedigree: These pads result from advanced development cycles (2-3 years plus extensive testing) and represent a replacement-grade compared to generic alternatives. Choosing timely replacement helps you maintain performance aligned with original design intent.
