ABOUT PAGID RACING

Early brakes were little more than wooden blocks with simple levers. The develop­ment of vehicle braking as we know it today began when Walter Willson Cobbett Ltd realized their woven belting could be easily adapted and used as friction material to bring motor cars to a stop.

Presswerk AG (PAG) manu­factures furniture related products in Essen, Germany. They are also commissioned to produce brake friction materials for the Herman Kirchbach’schen Werke in Coswig.

Under the brand name Pagid, the PAG company starts to market their own friction products for commercial vehicles and trailer applications. Over the following years, Pagid grows into a renowned brand name, not least known for its expertise in high performance and racing vehicles.
