SHW Brake Systems (parent company of the performance division) traces its roots back over an astounding 650 years to 1365 where they initially began extracting iron ore and carrying out smelting activities around the area of Konigsbronn, Germany, the company's birthplace. In 2020 SHW launched SHW Performance to enter the automotive aftermarket and performance industry, meanwhile opening their first US branch operating out of Irvine, California.
SHW Brake Systems manufacturers OEM performance brakes for some of the top performance vehicles such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and more. Raw materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, high finishing standards, strict quality control procedures and rigorous testing are just some of the important foundations required to produce world-leading brake rotors.
