GRTECH Group has successfully completed the loading of 16 pallets containing a total of 18,100 sets of clutch facings, which have now been fully delivered to Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, China. As the world's largest small-commodity wholesale market and an influential international trade hub, Yiwu serves as the gateway through which this batch will be distributed to overseas customers and global aftermarket channels. The smooth delivery once again demonstrates GRTECH's efficient fulfillment of overseas orders and its stable supply capability in the clutch friction material segment.
Clutch facing is the core friction component riveted onto the clutch disc, and its quality directly determines the smoothness, durability and reliability of clutch engagement. GRTECH supplies both woven and rubberized clutch facings in a wide range of series, including organic fiber, copper-wire reinforced, carbon fiber reinforced and Kevlar reinforced grades, covering heavy-duty trucks, tractors, light trucks, passenger cars and SUVs. Backed by more than 50 in-house friction compound designs and over 500 size specifications, the product matrix can match most popular models in the global aftermarket.
On the technical side, GRTECH clutch facings are built by weaving high-strength fibers, yarns and aramid pulps into base blanks, followed by resin impregnation, high-pressure forming and precise curing. The copper-wire reinforced grade, inspired by the classic German Sachs design concept, embeds high-grade copper wire into the friction matrix, greatly improving heat transfer and structural tenacity – an ideal fit for commercial heavy-duty vehicles facing repeated heavy-load engagement. The carbon fiber reinforced series further cuts weight and speeds up heat dissipation, while the Kevlar reinforced series delivers smooth engagement and quiet operation.
In terms of performance, the facings maintain a stable friction coefficient from cold start to high-temperature working conditions, ensuring gentle yet firm power transmission at every engagement. Superior wear resistance extends service life and reduces replacement frequency; uniform friction behavior suppresses judder and abnormal noise; and excellent heat resistance protects the friction surface from glazing or cracking under continuous stop-and-go and heavy-load operations, effectively lowering the total maintenance cost for vehicle owners.
In quality management, every facing is produced with precision die-cutting and strict thickness tolerance control, ensuring consistent dimensions, flatness and rivet-hole positions for fast, trouble-free assembly and replacement. The group applies full-process quality control from incoming materials and weaving to curing and final 100% inspection, guaranteeing that all 18,100 sets in this batch are uniform in quality and ready for immediate installation.
This order was packed on 16 pallets with protective moisture-proof packaging and delivered to Yiwu in full, where it will be consolidated and shipped to global partners through the city's well-developed export logistics network. GRTECH Group will continue to optimize production scheduling and logistics services, and keep delivering cost-effective, high-quality clutch friction components to customers around the world.
