HDNABI North America Brake Industry Opens US Plant
ATLANTA — Privately held HDNABI North America Brake Industry announced it would begin manufacturing air disc brakes and axles for the North American heavy-duty vehicle market from a plant in Norcross, Ga.
HDNABI will begin assembling a new technology-based performance ADB and axle system in its new manufacturing facility May 1.
The company has been a heavy-duty braking systems supplier for a leading Korean-based automotive firm, and trailer maker Hyundai Translead is testing HDNABI’s components, according to the company, which noted that expanding to North America was “a natural next step.”

“We look forward to leveraging our depth of industry experience in advanced brake design, global sourcing, rigorous R&D, validation, performance testing and manufacturing automation to deliver this world-class technology to OEMs and fleet operators throughout North America,” CEO Yon Yu said in a release.
The company’s ADB product is intended to deliver enhanced stopping distances, stable braking performance, extended pad and wheel end life, reduced maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership for end-user customers.
Also, HDNABI will offer a trailer system including Stemco’s Platinum Performance System wheel end components that it is marketing as closing the price gap between ADB systems and current drum brakes.
