LAS VEGAS – Honeywell Friction Materials, known for its Bendix, JURID and Stop by Honeywell branded brake products, has announced the launch of bendix.honeywell.com, a new global website for service technicians, do-it-yourself (DIY) consumers and direct customers.
More than a year in the making, the new site reflects feedback and input from distributors and repair technicians and is designed to help them be more efficient by providing valuable information at their fingertips.

Other highlights include:
· Parts search using the vehicle identification number (VIN), part number or year/make/model of the vehicle.
· Distributor locator allows visitors to find authorized distributors by simply entering in the city and state or zip code.
· Videos that offer useful reminders for repair technicians on proper brake work, while walking DIYers through the right way to complete a brake job.
· FAQ’s include answers to the most asked technical brake-related questions, organized by topic.
· Training information to help customers learn about Honeywell Friction Materials’ course offerings through technical training seminars conducted
“We carefully solicited and evaluated feedback from our customers to determine how we could better meet their online needs,” said Jim Kelly, director of sales at Honeywell Friction Materials. “We’re proud to launch the first phase of the website – an intuitive and easy to navigate portal for today’s busy distributors, repair shop technicians and enthusiasts.”
Phase two of the site, which will be announced in the coming months, will include the "My Account" functionality to enable customers to place online and bulk orders, track orders, check inventory, view pricing and more.
