CIPE Braking Systems

What CIPE Braking Systems does

CIPE Braking Systems (legal name: CIPE; also operating as CKG) is a privately-held Chinese manufacturer of automotive brake-system components, founded in 1995 and headquartered at No. 33, Xinyaobei Road, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou. The company began as a BOSCH technology-license enterprise and transitioned to an independent R&D manufacturer around 2015 after two decades of technology accumulation. Its product portfolio covers brake calipers (including EPB actuators/MGUs, high-performance calipers and IPB rear calipers), vacuum boosters, hydraulic booster assemblies, brake master cylinder assemblies, front/rear braking corner modules, rear drum brake assemblies, e-boosters, and related stamping and casting parts, with an aftermarket catalogue spanning more than 4,000 specifications. R&D capability is positioned around top-down caliper design, reverse engineering at 0.05mm accuracy, and full-vehicle braking-system matching and optimisation, supported by a dedicated team of 6 high-performance caliper engineers with 5–20 years of experience and recognitions including "Vehicle brake system engineering technology research center" and "Innovative company".

The business operates two channels: OEM supply into leading Chinese automakers (Ford, Nissan, Great Wall Motors and BYD), and an Aftermarket division established in 2017 and operating independently since 2021 that sells OE-quality replacement parts into Europe and the Americas. Pricing is quote-based ('Get a Quote') with no public list pricing, and go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn and Facebook pages, and direct sales/inquiry contacts ([email protected], [email protected]; +86 (020)3299 9860, +86 139 2227 9551). The company claims exports to 100+ countries. No financials, headcount, patents, certifications, awards, management team or funding rounds are publicly disclosed.
