AkebonoFARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — To drive and support the growth of its North American business, Akebono Brake Corp. has launched a new website to help customers more easily find information about its products and where to purchase them.

“As we celebrate our group’s 85th year of providing best-in-class braking solutions, we are pleased to offer this new, user-friendly, online experience to our customers,” said Ted Saito, president and chief executive officer, Akebono. “We will continue to embrace digital communication technologies that help us provide exceptional customer service and satisfaction.”
