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
- 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.
- 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.

What They Do
- The Zimmermann pads are precision-engineered components designed to convert your vehicle’s motion into reliable stopping power through controlled friction between the pad and brake disc.
- Performance-Tailored Design: Every vehicle has its own brake system characteristics, and these pads are specifically formulated to suit your car’s individual braking requirements.
- Advanced Friction Mixtures: Up to 25 raw materials ensure balanced performance across temperature, humidity, and load variations.
- Manufacturing Precision: Zimmermann controls temperature, pressure, and time during
production to achieve consistent friction stability and pedal feel.
- OES-Quality Assurance: The pb:z range guarantees high brake comfort, precise modulation, and superior braking efficiency under all driving conditions. Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Enhanced coating technology protects metal surfaces from rust and wear, extending overall lifespan.
In short, these pads are crafted for drivers who value long service life, smooth braking, and consistent safety at a competitive cost.
Why Brake Pads Fail
Even premium pads degrade over time due to natural wear and driving
conditions.
Common causes include:
- Friction-Material Wear: Continuous use thins the pad, reducing braking effectiveness and increasing stopping distance.
- Thermal Overload / Glazing: Excessive heat from prolonged braking or aggressive driving
hardens the pad surface, leading to fade and vibration.
- Uneven Contact: If discs are warped or the pad fitment is imperfect, surface contact becomes inconsistent, causing hotspots and premature wear.
- Inferior Substitutes: Non-optimized materials lack Zimmermann’s friction balance and fade resistance, resulting in noise, dust, or shorter life.
- Contamination & Corrosion: Salt, dirt, and moisture can compromise pad integrity and performance.
Why They Should Be Replaced
- Preserve Braking Efficiency: Fresh pads restore original stopping performance, keeping braking distances short and predictable.
- Maintain Comfort and Quietness: The pb:z pad structure minimizes noise and vibration—worn pads remove that refinement.
- Protect Brake Discs: Worn pads can damage rotors through metal-to-metal contact, increasing replacement costs.
- Sustain Safety and Control: New pads maintain stable friction coefficients across heat cycles, ensuring consistent pedal feel and fade-free braking.
- Ensure Compliance: Pads conforming to ECE R90 regulations preserve the braking behavior your vehicle was designed to deliver.
Replacing worn pads with the Zimmermann Premium Brake Pad Set ensures both optimal performance and longevity—without compromise.
