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.
