Company Profile

 The vision to set up a disc brake pads manufacturing plant was mooted by a group of specialist brake service entrepreneurs in Australia.

  • 1990
 Construction of the factory commenced and was completed in the same year.
  • 1991
 Production of the disc brake pads (Non-asbestos materials only) commenced and were delivered to the brake specialist market in Australia.

 To elevate the Ballan operation to a higher level of production capacity and technical excellence, Aymtray began scouting for prospective investor for its disc brake pads manufacturing operation.
  • 2001
 In March, the Ballan operation was fully acquired by maxistop (Australia) Pty. Ltd. on a 'going concern' basis. All fixed assets, intellectual properties and relevant human resources were transferred to the new owner. To better associate with (and to reflect the full confidence in) the well accepted 'Maxistop' brand name, the company name was changed to Maxistop Pty. Ltd. in August.
  • 2005

After almost a year of planning and construction at the new site at Melton, Victoria, Australia, the new 3200 square metre building facility was opened by the Mayor of Melton Shire Council Councilor Sophie Ramsey. The building has been built on a 15 acre lot allowing for future building to be constructed to cope with the growing expansion of the company.
Today.....  
 Maxistop is now able to supply over 1,000 part references, half of which were added to the availability list in the last 6 months. More part references will be added in the coming months as new vehicles are released onto the market.
Our aim to achieve near-full (if not full) coverage across all spectrums of automotive and industrial disc brake applications, including those for models newly introduced into the Australian market. Our vision is to establish MAXISTOP as a ONE-STOP supply source in Australia for high quality and value for money disc brake pads which do not contain asbestos.
