Pacbrake Exhaust Brakes & Automotive Parts

Pacbrake was founded in 1961 and since then, the company has been a leader in providing braking solutions to commercial trucking industry in the United States. Today, the company is a validated supplier for more than 20 OEMs, and Pacbrake parts are demanded worldwide. Pacbrake quickly responds to the global industry changes and adjusts its product line respectively, being among the most innovative and forward-thinking companies in the industry.

Back in the 1980s, Pacbrake was the first to develop and patent a combination engine brake utilizing an exhaust valve, and by 2000, the company became the largest exhaust brake and thermal management valve manufacturer in North America. Pacbrake exhaust brake parts are known worldwide for their exceptional quality, while large serial production supplies for Volvo, Caterpillar, and Detroit Diesel prove that the company is a reliable manufacturer.

Research and development performed by the company is a huge part of its success. To design a single Pacbrake air compressor, for instance, multiple laboratory research studies and continuous testing are done, until engineers are sure the product is not only efficient and reliable, but also provides the finest integration possible. To develop premium products, Pacbrake uses the most advanced technologies and tools, including CAD, CNC machines, and high end simulation packages. The company's production capabilities use the latest practices in lean manufacturing. The quality is also backed by an internationally recognized ISO 9001:2008 certification.

All stages of product design take place in-house, from idea to manufacture. All parts go through mechanical and software design stages, with modeling, CAM, 2D/3D kinematics and dynamics design, complete performance and system analysis, and Fortran programming. All Pacbrake exhaust brake components, as well as Pacbrake air suspension kits and other parts, are tested as probably no other product – apart from high temperature and corrosion, they undergo vibration and environmental testing. This exacting approach is what makes all products, from Pacbrake airbags to the most complicated engine retarder, provide world class quality and efficiency.
