Neotek

What Neotek does

Neotek is a Memphis, Tennessee-based manufacturer and distributor of automotive brake rotors and drums, founded in 1983 and operating as NEOTEK CORPORATION, INC. The company serves two channels: the Original Equipment Service (OES) market, where it self-describes as the largest supplier in North America, and the automotive aftermarket, which it reaches primarily through private label packaging programs for distributors and retailers. Its product portfolio comprises three core lines: Premium Rotors manufactured from G11H18 high-carbon material with tightened machining tolerances and CNC fine-turn finishes, Standard Rotors built from G3000 SAE cast iron at industry-standard tolerances, and brake drums produced from G3000 SAE stock with full in-house engineering and balancing.

The company's core technology is a fully vertical manufacturing process that it owns end to end: in-house tooling development, casting and foundry, CNC machining, cleaning, coating, and packaging. This vertical integration underwrites Neotek's claim of quality control, short lead times, and 99% vehicle coverage across domestic, European, and import applications. Quality differentiation between Premium and Standard lines is driven by material grade (G11H18 vs G3000), tighter specifications on run-out, DTV, and parallelism, and mill balancing to tolerances more than 50% tighter than industry standard on premium parts.

Neotek's revenue mechanics are predominantly B2B hardware sales of rotors and drums, augmented by private label packaging arrangements that let channel partners ship under their own brands with customer-specified materials and coatings. Distribution runs from a single modernized Memphis warehouse using automated conveyor transport to handle individual, pallet, and truckload orders. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and does not publicly disclose pricing or financial details. Its marketing is largely direct B2B via the corporate website rather than through digital advertising or app distribution channels.
