Breyden | MAT Foundry Group
Breyden is a leading manufacturer of brake and drive components with a long industrial tradition and a clear focus on innovation and sustainability.
Emerging from sites formerly belonging to Buderus Guss, Bosch, and the MAT Group, Breyden combines the technical excellence of a large corporation with the agility of a medium-sized company.
Our portfolio includes high-quality cast and precision parts for the automotive industry – from classic and coated brake discs (including lightweight versions with in-house manufactured aluminum pots) to brake calipers, ready-to-install differential gears, and other sophisticated components in series production.
Breyden is one of the innovation leaders in the field of emission-reduced braking systems and is a pioneer in the market launch of the first-generation iDisc. Breyden is once again setting standards with the next Euro 7-compliant generation. Renowned OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in Europe and worldwide rely on our development and manufacturing expertise – both in the passenger car and commercial vehicle segments.
