Ngo-1999, abantu abatsha abaninzi abanamaphupha baseka ngokusesikweni iqela le-Armstrong ngenzondelelo kwishishini lezinto zokungqubana ukuze libandakanyeke kurhwebo lokungenisa nokuthumela ngaphandle ii-brake pads ezigqityiweyo. Ukususela ngo-1999 ukuya ku-2013, inkampani yakhula ngobukhulu kwaye yaseka ubudlelwane bentsebenziswano bexesha elide nobuzinzileyo nenani elikhulu labathengi. Kwangaxeshanye, imfuno kunye neemfuno zabathengi zee-brake pads nazo zihlala ziphucuka, kwaye ingcamango yokuvelisa ii-brake pads ngokwethu iyafika engqondweni. Ke ngoko, ngo-2013, sabhalisa ngokusemthethweni inkampani yethu yorhwebo njenge-Armstrong kwaye saseka umzi-mveliso wethu wee-brake pad. Ekuqaleni kokusekwa komzi-mveliso, sadibana nobunzima obuninzi koomatshini kunye nokwenziwa kwee-brake pads. Emva kovavanyo oluqhubekayo, sahlola kancinci amanqaku aphambili emveliso yee-brake pad kwaye sakha indlela yethu yokwenza ii-brake pads.
Ngenxa yokuphuculwa okuqhubekayo kobunini beemoto kwihlabathi liphela, ishishini labathengi bethu nalo likhula ngokukhawuleza. Uninzi lwabo lunomdla omkhulu ekwenziweni kwee-brake pads, kwaye lukhangela abavelisi bezixhobo zee-brake pad ezifanelekileyo. Ngenxa yokhuphiswano oluqhubekayo kwiMarike yee-brake pad eTshayina, sigxila nakwiimashini zemveliso. Njengomnye wabasunguli beli qela ekuqaleni wayevela kwimvelaphi yobugcisa, wathatha inxaxheba kuyilo lwee-grinding machines, i-powder spraying lines kunye nezinye izixhobo xa umzi-mveliso wakha okokuqala, kwaye wayenokuqonda okunzulu kokusebenza kunye nokuveliswa kwezixhobo zee-brake pad, ngoko ke injineli yakhokela iqela yaza yasebenzisana neqela lobuchwephesha lokuvelisa izixhobo ukuphuhlisa umatshini wokuncamathisela wenkampani yethu, i-grinder, i-powder spraying lines kunye nezinye izixhobo.
Sigxile kushishino lwezinto zokungqubana kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwama-20, sinolwazi olunzulu ngepleyiti yangasemva kunye nezinto zokungqubana, kwaye sikwaseke inkqubo evuthiweyo yokuhla nokwehla. Xa umthengi enombono wokuvelisa ii-brake pads, siya kumnceda ukuba ayile umgca wonke wemveliso ukusuka kuyilo olusisiseko lwesityalo kwaye ngokweemfuno ezithile zomthengi. Okwangoku, sincede abathengi abaninzi ngempumelelo ukuvelisa izixhobo ezihlangabezana neemfuno zabo. Kwiminyaka elishumi edlulileyo, oomatshini bethu bathunyelwe kumazwe amaninzi, afana ne-Itali, iGrisi, i-Iran, iTurkey, iMalaysia, i-Uzbekistan njalo njalo.
