Dorman(R) Delivers 100% NEW Brake Caliper Assemblies to the Automotive Aftermarket

In 2003,
Chinese primary production of magnesium was reported at almost 65% of the
estimated world total, compared to less than 5% in 1994.

"We set out to produce a product
of such high quality and with so many obvious advantages, that the choice
between NEW and Remanufactured would be unmistakable ," added Kealey. Dorman is currently providing 60 SKUs
for the most popular applications, including GM, Ford and selected imports,
with additional applications coming soon.

This trend is reflected in the number of sizeable
electrolytic units in economically more developed countries that have been
closed or idled and the remarkable increase in Chinese capacity.

Dorman has made improvements to the brake caliper design including a
"Dorman engineered" seal and groove package for consistent seal compression
and function as well as casting to exact dimensions and tolerances . "We are not only making the caliper NEW, we
are making it BETTER," Kealey declared. World consumption in 2003 was of
the order of 660,000t, a significant rise from 338,000t used in 1993.
