Pacer Dynamics has been confirmed as the official North American arm of Laizhou Sanli Auto Replacement Parts, the Shandong-based brake rotor manufacturer that produces more than 12 million rotors a year across over 4,000 part numbers. The two companies operate as separate legal entities, and the move formalizes a commercial structure around a working relationship that has been in place since Pacer was founded. Calgary-based Pacer Dynamics manages distribution, logistics, and customer support across North America, the company says, giving distributors and partners more direct access to Sanli’s product range.
Highlights
- Sanli, founded in 1997 in Shandong Province, China, runs a 2.1-million-square-foot plant and ships to customers in more than 70 countries.
- The manufacturer produces over 12 million brake rotors annually across more than 4,000 part numbers.
- Pacer Dynamics manages North American distribution, logistics, and customer support for the Sanli line.

A Formalized North American Structure
The arrangement keeps Pacer Dynamics and Sanli as independent legal entities while establishing a defined commercial structure between them. Pacer manages distribution, logistics, and customer support across the continent, and the company says the local presence gives distributors and business partners shorter lead times, more reliable product availability, and a more structured path to Sanli’s range.
Pacer serves the passenger, performance, medium-duty, and heavy-duty segments and is actively expanding its distributor network across North America.
“This confirmation gives our customers and partners a clearer picture of who we are and the manufacturing strength that stands behind everything we bring to market.” — Eddie Tso, CEO, Pacer Dynamics
Sanli’s Manufacturing Base
Founded in 1997 in Shandong Province, Sanli has grown into what the company describes as one of the world’s largest brake rotor manufacturers. It operates a 2.1-million-square-foot facility, produces more than 12 million brake rotors a year across over 4,000 part numbers, and serves customers in more than 70 countries. The company says its production process spans casting through to quality control and is built to European specifications.
What the Sanli Name Represents
The Sanli name (三力) refers to three forces — cohesion, centripetal force, and execution — which the company maps to its frontline workers, its managers, and its leadership.
“When we named this company Sanli, we were describing how we intended to build it. Cohesion, centripetal force, and execution. That has held for over thirty years. Pacer Dynamics carries that same approach into North America, and we are proud to formalize that relationship today.” — Mr. Wang, General Manager, Laizhou Sanli Auto Replacement Parts
