12/05/07: inauguration of the new Research and Development Centre in the “Kilometro Rosso” Science and Technology Park.

Together with the Italian Prime Minister Mr. Romano Prodi, the President of Confindustria, the Italian Industrial Employer’s Confederation, Mr. Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, and a number of other Italian public authorities, Brembo’s key customers and suppliers were called to participate in the tape cutting ceremony of the new Brembo R&D Centre.

Brembo has consistently believed in breakthrough Research and Development activities as the backbone of corporate growth; R&D strategies have been implemented over the years in a virtually maniacal manner, be it for new product research or for new industrial and corporate organisation processes.

Cast iron brake discs, the new discs in ceramic material and brake callipers in new aluminium alloys: the Brembo R&D objectives and purposes, totally in-line with market requirements, consistently target increased performance, optimised comfort weight reduction, and decreased corrosion and wear and tear phenomena. Constant whirlwind innovation that, at the end of the development processes, undergoes the final improvement procedures in the Brembo Testing Area, with over 100 in-process units either on the dynamic load test benches or engaged in on-road and on-track trial testing.
