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.

Zimmermann’s brake pad range is produced with quality engineering, ensuring optimal braking comfort, minimal wear, and dependable stopping power. Every set undergoes a development process lasting up to 3 years and thousands of test miles, guaranteeing outstanding performance and reliability across diverse driving conditions.

What They Do
The Zimmermann brake pads are designed to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy during braking, delivering controlled deceleration with minimal noise and consistent pedal feedback.

Key features and benefits:

• Tailored friction compounds: Formulated using up to 25 different raw materials for optimal grip, balance, and fade resistance.
• Vehicle-specific design: Each pad set is tuned to match the braking characteristics of its intended vehicle type.
• High comfort & low noise: Chamfered edges, anti-vibration layers, and precision backing plates ensure quiet operation.
• Long service life: Durable friction surfaces and quality binding ensure minimal wear, even under demanding conditions.
• Corrosion-resistant components: Protective coatings safeguard against rust, ensuring long-term performance.
• ECE R90 conformity: Certified to meet European safety and braking standards.

Zimmermann’s standard pads are trusted by professionals and enthusiasts alike for smooth, predictable braking and a refined driving experience.

Why Brake Pads Fail

• Even the best pads will wear over time. Common causes of brake pad failure include:
• Friction material wear: Continuous heat and pressure gradually thin the pad surface, reducing braking power.
• Glazing or overheating: Prolonged heavy braking can harden the pad surface, decreasing friction efficiency.
• Uneven contact or alignment issues: Warped rotors or improper installation can cause uneven wear and vibration.
• Contamination: Dust, oil, or road debris can penetrate the braking surface, reducing grip and causing squeal.
• Neglected maintenance: Worn pads increase rotor wear, leading to higher repair costs and potential safety risks.

Regular inspection and timely replacement ensure consistent braking performance and protect your vehicle’s entire braking system.

Why They Should Be Replaced

• Replacing worn or underperforming brake pads with the Zimmermann set ensures your vehicle maintains:
• Reliable braking performance: Fresh pads restore maximum friction, improving stopping distance and response time.
• Driving comfort & quiet operation: Maintains Zimmermann’s hallmark of smooth, low-noise braking.
• Protection for brake discs: Prevents premature rotor wear and costly component damage.
• Consistent safety: Guarantees even pressure distribution and stable pedal feel in all conditions.
• Efficiency & lifespan: New pads maintain proper heat dissipation and energy transfer, extending both pad and disc life.

Zimmermann’s precision-engineered standard brake pads ensure reliability, safety, and long-lasting value for everyday and performance-oriented drivers alike.
