Midway Industries Centerforce division is proud to be recognized as the leading manufacturer of performance clutch and pressure plate systems in the United States. Centerforces reputation as the clutch system of choice stretches back to the early 1980s when legendary Hot Rodder, founder of Hays clutches, and SEMA Hall of Fame member, Bill Hays sought to cure problems with existing designs while developing a competition-rated clutch/pressure plate system suitable for use with non-asbestos friction facings.

In 1982, the Hays family founded Midway Industries, Inc. to meet growing national demand for Centerforce products. Subsequent invention and patents covering the Centerforce II, Centerforce Dual Friction , Centerforce LMC, DFX Series Clutch Systems, and DYAD Drive System (DS) demonstrate the commitment to quality, continuous research, and new product development have propelled Centerforce products to be the industry leaders they are today.

Continuous development and improvement of product offerings is reflected in the unique features of the Centerforce U.S. and International patents. The addition of the new DYAD Drive System (DS) multi-disc clutch line, partnerships with cars builders, and racers provides a stable platform for growth and further development. Today, Centerforce has over 1600 different non-asbestos clutch/pressure plate applications available to the automotive enthusiast.
