Chassis Brakes International was a multinational manufacturer of automotive brakes and brake components. It was formed in June 2012 when the brakes division of Robert Bosch GmbH was sold to KPS Capital Partners[1] and was based in Netherlands.[2][3] It was one of the three largest brake system manufacturers in the world.[3]

The company had factories in 15 countries and had a workforce of about 5200, of which some forty percent were in Europe and the remainder in Asian and South American countries.[3] Chassis Brakes International's French entity was a member of the Fédération des Industries des Equipements pour Véhicules [fr], the French federation of vehicle part manufacturers.[2]

In 2019, the group was sold to the automotive system division of Japanese group, Hitachi.
