Did you know safety is the first priority in DFC’s warehouse operations?

In Episode 3 of our Did You Know? series, we highlight the work of our Safety Team, led by Elizabeth Perez, Safety Coordinator at Dynamic Friction Company. With hundreds of team members working around high shelves, heavy parts, and active machinery, safety is not just a part of the process. It is the foundation of everything we do.

Safety Starts with People

Every day, Elizabeth and her team ensure that DFC’s warehouse remains a secure environment for everyone on the floor. This includes maintaining strict safety protocols, conducting hands-on training, and reinforcing best practices throughout the operation.

“Did you know DFC employs hundreds of people in our warehouse? And it is the safety team’s duty to protect our team members.”

No Room for Shortcuts

Brake parts are heavy. Equipment is powerful. The pace of warehouse operations is fast. That is why DFC takes every measure to prevent accidents and protect our team without compromise.

“In a warehouse full of brake parts, high shelves, and heavy equipment, there is no room for shortcuts.”

From proper lifting techniques to cherry picker procedures and the use of high-visibility vests, safety is built into the daily routine. The goal is to keep operations running efficiently while making sure every team member goes home safely.

Why It Matters

DFC’s commitment to warehouse safety does not just benefit employees. It supports the quality and reliability our customers expect. When safety protocols are followed, parts are handled with more care, orders are fulfilled with precision, and disruptions are minimized.

DFC’s key safety measures include:
• Mandatory safety training and refreshers
• Clear equipment protocols
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) enforcement
• Daily inspections and safety walk-throughs
• A workplace culture where everyone is accountable

Safety First, Always

DFC’s culture of safety is not reactive. It is proactive. By investing in the protection of our people, we ensure that our products move through the supply chain with care and consistency. That commitment translates to trusted deliveries, fewer delays, and confidence at every level of the supply chain.

Did you know every DFC brake rotor goes through dozens of precision measurements before it ever reaches the box?

In Episode 4 of our Did You Know? series, we take you inside the Engineering Department at Dynamic Friction Company. Join Director of Engineering Kim Hem as he walks through how our team uses cutting-edge tools and rigorous validation to ensure the highest level of accuracy and performance in every rotor we produce.

Engineering Excellence Begins with Research and Development

At DFC, product innovation is led by our award-winning research and development team. Every new brake component is developed with precision, reliability, and real-world performance in mind. Before anything enters production, it is backed by comprehensive testing and validation.

As Kim explains:
“We’re constantly developing new product, and we’re developing these products based on our award-winning research and development team?”

Precision You Can Measure

Once a new product is ready, it undergoes detailed analysis using advanced measuring equipment. One of the most essential tools in our validation process is the Faro Arm. This high-precision instrument allows engineers to inspect every critical dimension of a brake rotor with extreme accuracy.

“We use this machine for its extreme precision to measure every important detail. Each rotor we analyze contains dozens of individual measurements.”

This ensures that each rotor meets our exacting standards for performance, fitment, and durability.

Attention to Detail That Pays Off

High precision takes time, but for DFC, it is time well spent. Every measurement is carefully verified before the rotor is approved for production and distribution.

“Although this can be time-consuming, we do this at DFC to guarantee our customers the most accurate and best product on the market.”

By taking extra steps during the engineering phase, DFC reduces installation issues and ensures consistent quality across every batch.

Why It Matters to Professionals

Whether you’re a technician, shop owner, or distributor, DFC’s commitment to brake rotor precision engineering means fewer returns, faster installs, and long-term customer trust. Our process is designed to ensure you receive brake parts that perform the way you expect, right out of the box.

Key benefits of DFC rotor validation:
• OE-quality fit and function
• Accurate specifications for every part
• Consistent product quality
• Reduced installation issues

Built on Precision. Trusted by Professionals.

From the first design sketch to final quality checks, every DFC rotor is built with the same level of attention and engineering excellence. It is one more reason why service professionals and distribution partners choose DFC to deliver reliable, OE-quality braking solutions.
