ABOUT US
The Danblock brand belongs to the Scandinavian potentate of the audomotive market – the Roulunds Braking company.
Roulunds Braking is a company with impressive tradition – it was established in 1736 in Denmark, while the production of friction materials was started right after the end of WWI, in 1926.
The new chapter of the company history started in 2003, when it was taken over by the American concern MAT, as a result of which it gained access to global technologies, foreign capital and the global automotive market.
Right now, Roulunds Braking is one of the largest global producers of high-quality friction materials for the automotive market, supplying the clients all over the world.
Roulunds Braking offers not only brake blocks, but also brake shoes, cladding, dicks and accessories. The company offer is concentrated both on cars and trucks.
For the first time, the Danblock brand appeared in the market right after WWII. For years, it has been appreciated by clients in the markets of Western Europe, with biggest successes in its home market – Denmark.
Both then and now, the Danblock brand represents the top-quality Scandinavian technical solutions and the years of experience in the automotive industry.
Since 2003, Roulunds Braking, the owner of the Danblock brand, has been owned by the US concern MAT Holdings.
MAT Holdings was established in 1990 and since then it has developed from a local company from Illinois to a diversified global producer offering its products on 3 continents and employing over 14,000 people.
