FTE Grows Remanufactured Caliper Range

246 New References

Building on its commitment to circularity, FTE Automotive announced a significant expansion of its remanufactured brake caliper range.
With the addition of 246 new references, the company offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios in the European aftermarket, totaling 3,042 references and covering 94% of the European car parc.

Valeo’s RED Strategy

This launch encompasses Valeo’s RED strategy, which focuses on three strategic pillars:

• R for Reman: leveraging over 40 years of expertise and one of the widest portfolios of remanufactured products
• E for EV: building on Valeo’s leadership in electrified solutions, with one in three new cars worldwide equipped with Valeo technologies
• D for Dragon: supported by 30 years of O.E. excellence in China, positioning Valeo as a leading aftermarket partner with more than 2,500 part numbers

Strengthening FTE’s LCV and Passenger Cars Portfolio

This expansion successfully combines high-volume applications for recent vehicle models with essential Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) coverage.
In particular, the expansion addresses key, high demand platforms such as the Volkswagen Golf VIII, Volvo XC60, Peugeot 208 II (across both thermal and hybrid variants). Additionally, the range reinforces support for the LCV segment with key models like the Ford Transit Custom, Tourneo, and Iveco Daily VI.
By adding these references, FTE has increased its reach by an additional 10 million vehicles across the continent, reinforcing its position as an expert in calipers remanufacturing.

The Importance of EPB Calipers

Electronic Parking Brakes (EPB) represent one of the fastest-growing replacement segments in the calipers market today. FTE is addressing this growing demand by integrating 78 new EPB caliper references into its latest range expansion.
By offering reliable, remanufactured solutions for these electronic components, FTE enables distributors and garages to meet the growing technical demands of their customers with complete confidence. 

Best-in-class Braking

FTE’s industrial remanufacturing process restores used calipers to a good-as-new condition, meeting or exceeding original specifications. The process involves complete disassembly, rigorous inspection, the replacement of all worn components, and strict end-of-line testing.
Every FTE remanufactured caliper is 100% tested to ensure it delivers the exact same safety performance, functional features and quality level as original parts.
Furthermore, this process minimizes the use of raw materials and significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to manufacturing a new product, offering workshops a sustainable choice without compromising on quality. 

Rewards Through Valeo Reman Partner Program

This portfolio expansion is further supported by the Valeo Reman Partner Program, a dedicated initiative designed to reward market participants for their performance and engagement with remanufactured solutions.

Through this program, distributors benefit from tailored support and incentives, whilst being encouraged towards thinking of reman as the first-choice option.

A More Sustainable Aftermarket 

FTE is actively contributing to a more sustainable aftermarket by continuously expanding its range of remanufactured calipers. Now featuring more than 3,000 references, this expansion meets the daily demands of European workshops.
Each addition simplifies the selection process for both workshops and distributors when choosing environmentally conscious, remanufactured alternatives.
