Brake pads are taken for granted by riders, but they are one of the most important components of a bicycle. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of this component.
SwissStop is a product of the Swiss company Borflex Rex SA, which was founded in 1935 by chemical engineer Ignazio Favino. The company started out as a shoe glue manufacturer. They then changed their focus and began producing rubber compounds for shoe soles.
Rex developed compounds for soles that were vulcanized with leather components of footwear. The company eventually took a leading position in this market segment.
In the 1990s, Rex received the ISO 9001 SQS certificate. It became the first company to successfully pass this certification in the city of Ticino, located in Switzerland.
The company has come a long way from producing liquid rubber compounds to creating bicycle components and today uses its high-quality rubber compounds in the production of bicycle brake pads.
The development of the compounds is the responsibility of highly qualified specialists who conduct research in modernly equipped laboratories. No product enters the market without prior testing for durability, performance and efficiency.
Thus, the pads have quite specific and very high performance indicators. The SwissStop laboratory is available to other companies wishing to conduct tests of various types of elastic materials.
In addition, under the SwissStop brand, Rex produces disc rotors. The products demonstrate reliability and performance even in disciplines such as downhill and cyclocross, have a wide range of applications, have optimal heat dissipation, high strength in harsh conditions and increased wear resistance.
The secret of the company's success is simple: constant product development, high production capacity, high-quality training of employees, as well as a constantly developing product quality control system at each stage of production. It is the rapid movement forward and high standards that ensure the company's future on the international market in the segment of the production of technical rubber products, thermoplastics and various elastomers.
Rex headquarters is conveniently located among the major industrial centers of Europe. The company itself covers an area of 12 thousand m2, of which 6 thousand m2 are allocated for research facilities.
