Textar Brake Pads

Textar is one of the world's leading brands in the automotive brake sector, specializing in high-performance friction materials for original equipment (OE) manufacturers and the global aftermarket. Founded in Leverkusen, Germany, the brand has been a pioneer in braking technology since the early 20th century.

Today, Textar is manufactured in various high-tech facilities across Europe, Asia, and North America to serve regional markets. The brand is known for its rigorous testing standards and safety-first approach. Since 2011, Textar has been a core brand of the TMD Friction Group, which is a global leader in the automotive supply chain. Ownership shifted in 2023 when AEQUITA, a Munich-based industrial group, completed the acquisition of TMD Friction.
