MK Kashiyama (МК Кашияма), Япония
Японская MK Kashiyama Corp. Занимается разработкой и производством деталей тормозных систем автомобиля: в основном тормозных колодок, накладок и дисков. Основатель компании, Макито Кашияма, до производства занимался продажами автозапчастей в Токио и только в 1960-м году начал делать первые шаги в промышленности. А основную свою продукцию — тормозные колодки — запустил в производство только через 5 лет под маркой MK (по инициалам собственного имени Makoto Kashiyama). Но спустя десятилетие тормозные механизмы Kashiyama в сборе были аккредитованы Японской ассоциацией автомобильных компонентов (JAPA), что дает доступ к заводскому комплектованию всех «японок».Позже началось расширение компании путем строительства двух заводов в самой Японии, одного в Индонезии, приобретения малайзийского Steam Engine Industries Co., организация отдельного направления WINMAX CORP., занимающегося разработками тормозных запчастей для гоночных и раллийных автомобилей. Для европейского рынка получена аккредитация ECE R90 и сертификаты ISO9001 и ISO9002, а на американском рынке компания сотрудничает с MAT Holding.
Колодки Kashiyama для вторичного рынка имеют собственную маркировку.
