Textar - O.E. Approved - Aftermarket Leader

Since 1913 the Textar brand has been the leading supplier of friction to the world´s car and commercial vehicle manufacturers and is also a driving force in the global automotive aftermarket. Textar is manufactured by the TMD Friction Group, one of the world’s largest producers of brake friction. Supplying more current vehicle build than any other friction brand in Europe, and providing O.E. performance, the Textar range of more than 1000 disc brake pads are the ideal aftermarket choice.

Textar – the O.E. technology behind the brand Textar brake pads are derived from 160 different formulations, some of these consisting of more than 20 different raw materials and each one carefully selected to meet the various requirements of a vehicle, its braking system, specific power, loads and braking characteristics.

TMD specifications stipulate an even higher testing standard than ECE R 90, the European test standard to approve replacement pads. This separates Textar from its rivals, and offers distinct value to automotive part suppliers and garages. Some brands claim O.E. quality, Textar achieve it.
