“It’s an honour and a privilege to partner with our long-time customers at Ford on one of the most iconic and American made vehicles in the history of our industry,” said Eugenio Madero, CEO of Rassini. “The continued growth and success of our Mt. Morris Township facility is a result of the hard work and dedication by our employees in Michigan, and we look forward to continuing to work with Ford to meet and deliver upon their needs.”

Rassini supplies high carbon brake rotors for the Mustang. It is certified and recognised globally as a technology leader in the design and production of high quality brake components within the automotive industry. The 380mm diameter rotors for the Ford contract offer precise tolerance to ensure ultimate performance while increasing overall longevity of the parts.

A spokesman for Rassini told just-auto the Mustang contract was new to Rassini and supply began earlier this year.
