New Facility Brings Off-Highway Wet Friction Production to India


Carlisle Brake & Friction has broken ground to expand its Chennai, India manufacturing operations in one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial regions. Having produced mechatronic products in the region for more than 15 years, Carlisle CBF will relocate to add production at a larger site for off-highway paper wet friction discs and steel separator plates. The new facility is scheduled to open in 2027.

The move to expanded space is designed to accommodate manufacturing capabilities needed to serve the growing demand across the agriculture, construction and especially mining industries in India and Southeast Asia. Local production will improve supply chain responsiveness while supporting original equipment and aftermarket requirements in cost-sensitive markets.

Carlisle Brake & Friction is establishing a state-of-the-art wet friction manufacturing facility on par with proven global manufacturing processes in the new Chennai plant, to build a more resilient regional platform. This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver durable wet friction products that help keep critical off-highway equipment productive.
