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.

At Dynamic Friction Company, quality is more than a step in the process. It is the foundation of everything we do. In the second episode of our Did You Know? video series, we give you an inside look at how DFC ensures every brake part that leaves our facility is ready to perform with OE-level precision. This time, we are shining the spotlight on our Quality Control team, led by Eric Romero, QC Supervisor.

A Closer Look at DFC Quality Control

Every day, our QC engineers inspect 30 parts per shift. Each of those parts is verified against a minimum of five key specifications. That means more than 70,000 brake parts and over 350,000 specifications are inspected and verified by our team every year. This level of detail allows us to provide aftermarket brake components that meet or exceed OEM standards and give shops and distributors complete confidence in every order.

What Sets Our QC Process Apart

Many aftermarket brands focus only on production volume, but at DFC, we focus on performance and reliability. Our inspection process covers critical areas such as rotor runout, thickness, chamfer angles, coating adhesion, and packaging integrity. If a part does not meet our strict requirements, it does not move forward. We do not recycle or reuse parts that fail inspection. They are discarded so only the best reaches your shelves.

Why It Matters to Shops and Distributors

Your reputation depends on every part you install or sell. With DFC quality control, you know the brakes you provide are backed by a rigorous inspection process. For technicians, this means fewer comebacks and greater confidence at the lift. For shop owners and distributors, it means consistent quality, fewer returns, and a reliable supply of OE-matched brake solutions. Every step we take in quality control is designed to support your success in the bay, at the counter, and in the warehouse.

Our Commitment to Reliability

At DFC, we understand that you need more than just parts. You need assurance that those parts will perform right out of the box. Our QC team ensures that each component is tested, verified, and ready to meet the demands of today’s vehicles. From daily drivers to high-performance builds, you can trust DFC to deliver the consistency, safety, and reliability your customers expect.
