What You Can Discuss With Us
We don't just manufacture and sell brake drums. Three days at the show is also a chance to talk through the wider picture – brake system design, component selection, and how to actually pull a heavy-duty parts program together in Vietnam.
A few things we'll be talking about across the three days include:
- Heavy-duty brake drums. Our core line – FMVSS 121-compliant drums in 16.5" × 7", 15" × 4", and other Class 8 configurations, with SAE J431 G3500 material certification and dimensional verification done on our ZEISS SPECTRUM CMM.
- Heavy-duty brake parts beyond drums. Trade measures imposed on certain Chinese imports have a lot of buyers taking a serious look at Vietnam. We can walk through what a long-term program with us looks like, start to finish.
- Vietnam as the ultimate sourcing base for heavy duty parts. Our team can share how we've been working with credible partners to help our customers source other aftermarket components from Vietnam alongside their drum programs.

Why It's Worth a Conversation
Many of the buyers we speak with are weighing similar questions: can a supplier meet specifications consistently, maintain reliable lead times, stay audit-ready, and continue operating as a strong, dependable partner over the long term.
Three days at the same venue is the fastest way to get answers to all of that.
On our side, we'll come ready to talk specifics. TBP Auto’s Vietnam plant operates to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards. Our drums are produced to FMVSS 121 and SAE J431 G3500, with dimensional checks performed on a ZEISS SPECTRUM CMM.
We also operate a U.S. entity, which can help simplify the process for North American buyers. And if you’d like to see the production line firsthand, our factory is only a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City.
