Innovative technology. First quality materials. Expert product and process engineering. ATE brake parts for the aftermarket are made to a higher standard than conventional replacements. ATE is the brand of Continental Automotive Systems, one of the largest original equipment brake system manufacturers in the world. Years of experience and insight gained from serving every major vehicle producer are invested in every ATE brand product. ATE offers a comprehensive portfolio of premium brake products. ATE Ceramic brake pads work cleanly, quietly and with low wear. The secret of these brake pads lies in a brake pad compound which uses innovative fiber technology. During braking, it creates a "transfer film" consisting of extremely hard, wear-resistant carbides on the brake disc. The braking therefore no longer takes place directly on the brake disc, but, so to speak, on this transfer film. This significantly reduces the wear to the brake pad.
