Anstro

 
Backing Plates, Shims, Caliper and Attaching Hardware.
Anstro Manufacturing is a manufacturer of brake components for aftermarket and OE suppliers. Anstro's main products include Backing Plates, Shims, Caliper and Attaching Hardware.
  • With an active product line of over 3,000 SKUs, the Company offers one of the most extensive product lines in the industry, carrying virtually every type of disc system. The majority of Anstro's products represent a smaller component of the overall braking system (i.e., shims, hardware). The majority of the division's revenues are from shims, which are sound and vibration dampening parts attached to back plates. Following the integration with IBI, Anstro became the #1 producer of shims in the industry (43% market share). In addition to shims, the Company produces back plates, which are eventually attached to friction material, and connection hardware. Within its primary product categories, shims and hardware, the Company has established meaningful market share positions, which have increased steadily over time.

Quiet Clips™
Our new Quiet Clips™ are Making Noise By NOT Making Noise

Our test results* are in. These tests show that a significant reduction in noise is obtainable with the installation of our Quiet Clips™`. The nitrile polymer coating on our abutment clips helps to reduce the transfer of vibration/noise (squeals, creaks and groans) from the pads to the caliper bracket, effectively eliminating this source of brake noise.

*Tests conducted by an independent facility. Over a 1,000 simulated forward and reverse braking, performed in a controlled dynamometer test chamber, at varying temperatures and pressures with no additional noise control measures incorporated. Complete test results available upon request.

 

  • The Company's sales consist primarily of hardware kits, servicing both disc and drum systems. The kits consist of various component parts, including attaching plate and shoe hardware, which are sourced from both Anstro and outside suppliers. IBI produce a small portion of its product offering. With a product offering of over 6,000 active SKUs, available as either kits tailored to a specific brake system or in bulk, IBI's offers its customers both the scale and responsiveness necessary to be first to market following the introduction of new or refined braking system.
