Eric Ding
Eric Ding founded GDST Auto Parts brand in 2002. His father established a brake cylinder factory in 1995, initially supplying high-quality brake cylinder products to overseas customers through Chinese foreign-trade companies.
After taking over the factory in 2002, Eric began working directly with overseas customers. As customer requirements expanded, he gradually extended the product range from brake cylinders to brake pads and suspension and steering parts, including Ball Joint, Rack End, Tie Rod End, Center Link, Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, Tie Rod Assembly and Inner Arm Shaft Kit.
He also invested in and developed long-term cooperation with additional brake, suspension and steering factories to provide customers with a wider sourcing range.
Eric's focus remains simple: factory-direct pricing, reliable product quality and one-stop sourcing for aftermarket auto parts.

Peter Liu and his QC team are involved throughout the inspection process. Incoming materials are checked before production, key processes are inspected during manufacturing, and finished products go through final inspection before shipment.
