View: expanding our action framework and consolidating our position in leading international markets.

FU began its business operations with the supply of friction materials to the Passenger and Cargo Transportation sector. With time, and as a consequence of a planned business development, a diversification stage began, which allowed us to enter new markets.

The experience of the Management, together with the ideas submitted by young professionals, allowed the company to participate in extremely demanding industries as regards quality, safety, and service. Moreover, the constant training and professionalization of every area of FU laid the foundations for consolidating our position as a reliable provider, supported by ISO 9001:2008 (see Quality + FAQ Section).

Today, the Quality, Product Development, and Business departments work together as a unit (based on qualified knowledge and the commitment to the client). Their goal is to achieve a constant improvement within FU to guarantee the quality of the products and services offered by the company.

The combination of quality products, a reliable service, and intellectual capital puts us in an excellent position to supply the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Market and the Replacement Market (Aftermarket) and also be able to continue making progress. Nevertheless, we thank all of our clients for the success we have, and we wish to particularly mention the entire work team at FU for their daily dedication and commitment.
