EMAK:::

MAK’s commitment to quality is an important part of its business. Quality is built into all areas of the process, from the selection of raw materials and manufacturing, to shipping.

MAK’s Quality Management System (QMS) has been certified and registered ISO 9002 by the British Standards Institute (BSI).

Additional requirements as specified by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in QS 9000, are incorporated in MAK’s quality system. MAK also believes that companies are accountable to the community, and to that end, has developed a comprehensive Environmental Management System that conforms to ISO 14000 standards

High Performance Begins with Raw Materials.

MAK develops formulations to meet Original Equipment specifications. MAK TRAXX products incorporate the latest generation of materials from many of the multi-national leaders in their field. Selected by the MAK development team, raw

materials are tested at the Company’s in-house laboratories to ensure ongoing product quality and uniformity

To track and monitor every step in the process, a quality control plan has been initiated for each operation. Measurement data is entered into a computerised statistical process control (SPC) system that enables fast and easy adjustments. The result is less rejects and tighter quality control. MAK passes these benefits on to its customers with lower costs, decreased returns, and reliable delivery.

MAK’s rigorous testing ensures that the highest standards are met in raw material selection, mixing quality, and all other areas of the manufacturing process. Dynamometer testing of the finished product simulates a variety of braking conditions, proving prescribed design criteria for fade, recovery, noise, life, mating surface wear and stopping distance.

All of the MAK TRAXX commercial vehicle and passenger carrying vehicle brake linings meet today’s stringent European legislative requirements for safety-critical products -- ECE Regulation 13: Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Vehicles of categories M, N and O with regard to Braking. Brakes used in extreme working conditions, such as trailer axle drum brake applications, are tested and certified by the appropriate authorities.
