Jurid and Ferodo Announce New Rotors Available from Europe to the North American Market
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — European drivers have long depended on Jurid® and Ferodo®premium quality braking products for top performance on their vehicles. Both brands have long been global leaders in both Original Equipment and aftermarket applications, and beginning now, Jurid and Ferodo rotors are available in the North American market. The new line of rotors entail 53 SKUs and complement the 89 Jurid and Ferodo brake pads currently available in North America.
Jurid and Ferodo rotors are designed for top performance, with superior heat dissipation, premium metallurgy and overall design.
