About LUMAG
Founded in 1988 by Marek Żak, LUMAG started by focusing on brake linings production, later advancing to its own brake pad manufacturing technology. The company has shown remarkable technological progress, evidenced by its continuously evolving machinery and engineering solutions, alongside rising quality and safety standards.
Quality remains a top priority for LUMAG, operating on proprietary, well-established formulas and processes, ensuring high safety and comfort levels in its products. In September 2013, LUMAG expanded into a new 19,000 square meter production facility, representing the company’s largest investment in its 25-year history. This strategic move was aimed at meeting growing customer demands and the stringent requirements of the OEM market. Located near Poznań in Budzyń, the facility benefits from its proximity to major transportation routes, enhancing logistical efficiency. This expansion not only increased production capacity but also allowed for a 10% increase in employee headcount. The facility, featuring an automated mixing facility and high-capacity processing lines, is specifically designed for the manufacture of friction materials.
