HELLA brakes now available to UK aftermarket

HELLA has officially launched its range of premium brakes into the UK aftermarket, marking a significant expansion for the brand after more than a decade of braking success across Europe.

Developed to meet the demands of busy workshops, the braking lineup goes well beyond pads and discs, positioning HELLA as a true one-stop braking solution. It additionally includes calipers, drums and shoes, master and wheel cylinders, and wear indicators, and is complemented by HELLA electronics such as brake-by-wire pedals and ABS sensors

“For the last decade I have seen the success that HELLA have had across Europe with our complete braking solution,” said Neil Grant, Managing Director at HELLA UK. “I am, therefore, delighted that we are finally able to bring the complete product portfolio to the UK Aftermarket. We know that with our proven quality and competitive price point, we will see early success with those who want to be first to market to offer something new and different.”

HELLA brake pads are engineered to OE standards, using over 200 friction material components. Constructed with powder-coated steel backplates and high-shear adhesive, they feature application-specific chamfers and noise grooves to ensure quiet, consistent braking. With over 40 test vehicles covering nearly 200,000 miles annually, HELLA’s pads are engineered for the safety, performance, and reliability workshops can trust.

“Each pad is developed to mirror the original specification, ensuring confident, consistent braking in all conditions,” explains Ian Mattacola, Braking Product Manager at HELLA. “We’ve taken OE design principles and applied them directly to the aftermarket, so workshops can fit with total confidence.”
