New Fren S.P.A. - The company has its headquarters (Turin) as well as the production (Cirie) in the northern Italian industrial area. Motorcycle and scooter riders especially appreciate the high-quality brake and clutch components (brake discs, brake pads and shoes and clutch discs) of the manufactory founded in the 1950s by Alessandro Barbero. Barbero, starting as a small businessman, used a newly developed friction material for the repair of old brake shoes, which was bonded to the flexible brake pads with a "then revolutionary (...) special adhesive from the USA", which made the previously common fastening by rivets superfluous. Today NEW FREN, which is now managed by the son of the founder, Valter Barbero, produces on a total of 10,000 square meters and has a global distribution network. Safety is an important keyword when it comes to brakes: many NEW FREN products have received ABE certification from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority following inspection by TÜV.
