The Global Brake Safety Council (GBSC) has announced James Hall of Bremsen Technik Group as its newest member.
The GBSC’s current Chairman, Scott Lambert, commented, “James is an accomplished braking executive with an in-depth understanding of engineering, product development and comes with a proven track record of success within the braking industry. The GBSC’s mission has never been more relevant. We help raise worldwide awareness of the importance of safe braking through powerful industry connections and collaboration. James’ wealth of experience and knowledge will aid us in that mission.”
Hall is Head of Engineering for Bremsen Technik Group, a U.K headquartered company with subsidiaries in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. His 10-year career in the braking industry includes experience in motorsport, commercial vehicle, passenger vehicle and even bicycle applications. In his current position, Hall oversees the product development, engineering and quality control of Bremsen Technik Group’s diverse range of brake and friction products and services.
“Globalization of the marketplace, coupled with ever-increasing pressure to shift to low-cost manufacturing centers emphasizes the requirement for increased and consistent controls in what is fundamentally a safety critical industry,” said Hall. “With a combined approach, the GBSC and its members should be striving to educate and advise legislative bodies on requirements for change and global alignment in order to further restrict the ability of poor-quality and, in some cases, fraudulent manufacturers to deliver an unsafe product to the consumer.”
