The history of TRW
The history of the company TRW traces back to 1901 when Cleveland Cap Screw Company was started in an American town called Cleveland. Its founder was David Kurtz with four partners. Initially the company was involved in the production of fastening elements for automobiles. Later on the initiative of Charles E. Thompson, a welder, and then of the company general manager the production of valves for automobile engines was started. In 1926 the company was renamed to Thompson Products Inc. The name TRW was used for the first time in 1958 after the merging of companies Thompson Products Inc and Ramo-Wooldridge.

Car parts by TRW
- Components of disk braking system. The category includes:
- Brake discs. Every year the company produces more than 12 million of braking disks. The company conducts a strict control for the thickness of the part, value of outrun and allowable diameter of center opening during their production. Due to the fact that all parts are packed in special water-proof VCI-paper, there is no need to use protective lubrication. This will make the installation of disks more convenient.
- Brake shoes. Thanks to the new friction coatingCOTEC the braking distance is decreased up to 7 m. Brake shoes of DTEC series are noted for their low level of dust production.
- Brake calipers. In total the company has already produced more than 400 million of brake calipers. In addition to the production of new parts the company is involved in restoration of old ones. There are more than 2800 varieties of brake calipers in TRW catalogue.
- Brake drums and drive system. This category includes brake shoes for drum brakes, wheel cylinders, brake boosters, clutch cylinders, hoses and cables, repair kits and other products. High quality materials that do not contain harmful substances – asbestos, 6-valent chrome and heavy metals are used for the production of brake shoes. The bodies of braking cylinders can be manufactured from aluminum which allows decreasing the total weight of the structure and reducing the fuel consumption. Sealing elements are noted for resistance to aggressive impact of chemical elements and provide reliable air-tightness.
- Steering system and suspension. The category includes:
- Restored steering racks and pumps. They are of as good quality as new ones. They provide comfortable and safe driving.
- Stabilizer links. As a rule they are manufactured from plastic that is reinforced with glass fiber. They have an increased durability and resistance to corrosion. They have low weight and provide the high level of comfort during driving.
- Steering arms. The optimal ratio of their weight and form leads to the reduction of fuel consumption.
- Steering linkages. They have long service life, since their construction does not include springs – one of the most vulnerable elements of steering linkages.
- Shock absorbers. The unique technology of piston polishing allowed decreasing its roughness and reaching more qualitative sealing. Pressurized piston seal is manufactured from Teflon.
