LODI, Ohio, Sept. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Knott Brake Company partnered with its long-term powdered metal supplier, Sintergy Incorporated, to develop a new concept in the manufacture of 6″ drum brake shoes using the powdered metals manufacturing process, and in doing so were awarded the 2021 international award for an Outstanding Application of Powder Metallurgy in the Lawn & Garden/Off-Highway category for the manufacturing of Knott Brake’s newest brake shoe design.
The award is governed by the Metal Powder Industries Federation and was presented to Sintergy Inc. during their annual ceremony. The brake shoe design was selected for recognition by a panel of industry experts and professionals from an international field of entrants and is used on the Knott Brake Company’s 6″ drum brake application.

The entire Knott Brake Company team prides itself on its wide range of innovative products, and congratulates the Sintergy team for all their efforts in helping us launch this innovative shoe design.
