Founded in 1906, Continental Automotive Investment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (ATE) is a well-known braking brand of Continental AG and the world's leading integrated supplier of automotive braking systems and solutions

When professionals talk about braking technology, the first brand that comes to mind is often ATE. When professionals talk about braking technology is the first brand that emerges is often ATE. That's because we put a lot of effort and experience into product development. Garages, dealerships and car manufacturers know why ATE is the system solutions partner they can rely on.

Here's just one example: ATE uses 150 different material compounds as the base material for the production of brake pads, each with the right quality to match. In contrast, our competitors typically only use 4 to 5 compound substrates. With a wide range of options to suit the quality needs of different car models, choose ATE – it's as simple as that.

ATE has "zero" tolerance for product quality

When it comes to quality issues, ATE implements a "zero" attitude. That's why ISO 9001 standards, certifications and quality management systems are in place at each of our production facilities. The certification places high demands on customer orientation, management and other quality standards. A continuous improvement process is also an integral part of the standard.

ATE is an expert in the field of braking

As a specialist in braking systems, ATE has a foundation of more than 100 years of research and development in quality, innovation and system integration. Our expertise in research, production and delivery has made ATE the world's leading integrated supplier of automotive braking systems and solutions, the same expertise that has made ATE a favorite in the aftermarket.

Fully tested for safety, far beyond (ECE-R90) standards,Consumers deserve maximum protection, and in order to protect them from dangerous, cheap and counterfeit products, the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) has set out a number of regulations. For example, a series of tests on braking behavior and friction characteristics must be carried out before the relevant certificates can be issued.

Braking must be absolutely safe, but this is not enough. More spontaneous tests at ATE include noise performance, brake pad wear, and brake disc thickness variation (DTV = brake disc thickness variation). On top of that, ATE's experience in motorsport is also applied in series production. This enables the driver to better combine safety and a pleasant driving experience, even under everyday conditions. Our product innovation is based on actual user experience.
