ATE products have been trusted by international car manufacturers for decades, known worldwide as uncompromising on safety, performance and reliability. With continuous innovations and improvements, ATE has set benchmarks in braking technology, bringing this global expertise directly to the Southern African market. Today, Alfred Teves Brake Systems (Pty) Ltd supplies a comprehensive product range – including brake pads, brake discs, master cylinders, wheel cylinders and brake shoes – all manufactured to the highest international standards of quality and safety.
The company operates under a robust Quality Management System, supported by a wide range of internationally recognised ISO certifications:
These accreditations reflect our strict adherence to quality, safety and environmental responsibility in every aspect of the business – from procurement and sourcing to logistics and customer support. Brake components are continually tested in laboratories to ensure reliability and compliance with both local and international regulations. Supplementary on-vehicle testing is carried out under real-world driving conditions, on test tracks and even in competitive racing environments, reinforcing our reputation for durability and performance.
By combining advanced technology, uncompromising safety standards and extensive product testing, Alfred Teves Brake Systems (Pty) Ltd delivers premium quality braking solutions designed for South African roads and conditions. Whether it’s brake pads, discs, master cylinders, wheel cylinders or brake shoes, customers trust ATE for consistent excellence, availability and peace of mind on every journey.
The ATE brand is renowned for its premium quality brake pads and discs. All Alfred Teves Brake Systems (Pty) Ltd brake pad formulations are locally developed to meet the unique driving conditions in South Africa whilst conforming to strict global regulatory standards. Depending on the application, replacement clips are supplied with many brake pad sets. ATE also offers brake pads for Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV). The friction material formulation was developed in-house to handle local operating conditions and legal requirements, successfully passing the SABS VC8053 tests in 2008 and later approved to the stringent international e-Mark specification.
ATE branded brake shoes for passenger vehicles and LCV’s are quickly gaining acceptance in the aftermarket. These are not re-bonded but are manufactured with new components. Core returns are therefore something of the past and retailers no longer face the hassle of handling old or damaged parts. The greatest benefit to motorists is the improved safety that comes with fitting a brand new component. Our brake shoes also adhere to the VC8053 Standard and are approved by the SABS.
Alfred Teves Brake Systems (Pty) Ltd further offers a range of hydraulic master cylinders and wheel cylinders for popular applications. These cylinders are manufactured to premium quality levels and comply with the internationally recognised ISO 6118:2006 standard, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
Alfred Teves Brake Systems (Pty) Ltd has built a strong reputation for more than just premium brake components – we are equally committed to product support and training. Over the years our programme has expanded extensively and is now accredited by MerSETA, giving workshops and technicians access to professional, recognised training. Sessions are available both on-site and virtually, ensuring that knowledge is accessible across South Africa.
Our dedicated training team provides technical product support to workshops and assists consumers with queries about any ATE product. Support is available telephonically, virtually or in person from our Head Office in Denver, Johannesburg, reinforcing our hands-on approach to customer service.
The ATE brand is distributed through all major aftermarket parts wholesalers in South Africa and beyond. Retailers and workshops rely on Alfred Teves Brake Systems (Pty) Ltd for consistently high-quality brake pads, discs, shoes, cylinders and technical support. This strong commitment to both product and service makes us the trusted brake systems partner of choice in the region.
