According to Frank Oliveto, FMSI President, the new platform allows subscribers to view data that was previously inaccessible and, with certain restrictions, purchase the paper catalog. This expansion of access is a significant step for FMSI, which has been a cornerstone in the brake and clutch facings industry since its founding in 1948.

FMSI, a registered trademark of the Friction Materials Standards Institute, is renowned for creating the standard part numbering system for brake and clutch facings. The organization’s commitment to industry standards and innovation is reflected in this new subscription service, which aims to make valuable resources more widely available.

By subscribing to the FMSI electronic catalog, industry professionals can gain insights into the latest standards and part numbering systems, which are crucial for maintaining quality and consistency in brake and clutch facings. This access can help businesses stay competitive and informed about industry developments.

Eligible subscribers, including jobbers, warehouse distributors, and retailers, can now access the electronic catalog at a competitive annual fee. This move is expected to benefit a broader range of industry professionals by providing them with critical data and resources to enhance their operations.

Founded in 1948, FMSI has been a pivotal trade organization in the friction materials industry. Its creation of the standard part numbering system has been instrumental in streamlining operations and ensuring compatibility across different manufacturers and suppliers.
