Scott/Mathauser Is Back In The Brake Business

"BOISE, ID—Ed "Scotty" Scott's family is reviving the company he founded and making its well-known red Scott/Mathauser brake pads available again, as well as other Scott products. Scott died last year.

"Scotty had Parkinson's Disease and had a hard time keeping the business going the last few years. With the debt climbing because things slowed down, the family decided to pull the plug on it after he died last year," said Tim Bushnell, Scott's stepson and a partner in the revived business.

But that has changed.

"After cashing out some shareholders in the business and getting everything in order we decided to re-launch the business. We have been shipping brake pads for the past six months and hope to have reestablished relationships with all of Scott's old distributors by spring," he said.

Family members are joined by minority shareholder Michael Kilburn, who has been with the business for the past 12 years. He is overseeing production at the company's new assembly and warehouse facility in Boise.

Scott/Mathauser's black, alloy, finned brake-pad holders are almost as well known as the trademark red brake-pad compound it used.
