This is from the UK, the company was founded in 1897. Brake pads: Brake pads are an important component in a car's braking system, and this part is also a wear item that needs to be replaced regularly. As the car's mileage increases, the brake pads will continue to wear. When the brake pads wear to a certain extent, they need to be replaced. Braking system: The main components of a car's braking system include the vacuum booster pump, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, brake pads, and brake discs. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the vacuum booster pump provides assistance, which helps the driver to press the brake pedal easily.
I've always been curious about the history of automotive parts, especially the braking system. Ferodo was originally a British brand, founded in 1897 when its founder Herbert Frood established the company in Manchester, specializing in friction materials. It has since grown into a globally renowned brake pad supplier. Although it was later acquired by international companies like Federal-Mogul, its roots remain in the UK, and its country of origin is clearly marked. In my work, I've handled many brake pads, and Ferodo's deep technical heritage—from old steam engines to modern racing cars—ensures stable and reliable quality. I think understanding this historical background is important because it helps car enthusiasts assess product reliability.
