Textar defines new standards with 39 first-to-market products
Innovations for the spare parts market
Textar expands its range with 157 new brake components, including 39 first-to-marketProducts. This underlines the innovative strength and market power of the premium brand from TMD Friction. Through close cooperation with vehicle manufacturers and targeted investment in research and development, Textar ensures rapid product availability on the independent aftermarket.
The new brake components cover a wide range of car and truck models, including vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW and Land Rover. Thanks to the high market coverage, workshops have suitable spare parts available for 99 percent of the European vehicle fleet.
First-to-market as a strategic advantage
39 of the new components were the first and only IAM solutions at the time of their market launch. This strengthens competitiveness and ensures rapid availability. Close cooperation with vehicle manufacturers makes it possible to introduce new friction solutions to the spare parts market at an early stage.
Highest quality through research and development
Textar combines speed with quality. Every brake pad undergoes a comprehensive research, development and testing process. Every year, TMD Friction invests around 30 million euros in research and development. More than 50,000 friction material mixtures have already been developed, tailored to specific braking systems. A new test bench worth 1.5 million euros also accelerates the market launch of new Products.
Optimized logistics for greater efficiency
Thanks to modern storage and distribution systems, Textar ensures that spare parts are available quickly. A closely networked logistics system reduces delivery times and optimizes stockpiling. Rapid availability is particularly important for first-to-market products.
Sustainable production as a strategy for the future
Textar relies on environmentally friendly production methods. Innovative material mixtures minimize wear, reduce particulate emissions and extend the service life of brake components. The company also invests in resource-saving manufacturing processes and develops recycling concepts.
Mastering the challenges of the Euro 7 standard
The Euro 7 standard increases the requirements for brake pads, particularly with regard to particulate emissions. Textar develops new material compositions that exceed the legal requirements. The modern test bench enables realistic tests and ensures that new products meet the latest environmental and safety standards.
Significance for the independent aftermarket
The rapid availability of new brake components is essential for the independent aftermarket. Workshops and dealers benefit from a continuously growing range. With over 140 years of experience and OEM expertise, Textar remains a reliable partner to the industry.
Conclusion: With 157 new products, including 39 first-to-market solutions, Textar is strengthening its position in the spare parts market. The combination of fast availability, high vehicle coverage and first-class quality makes the brand a strong partner for workshops and dealers. Through continuous investment in research and development, TMD Friction remains a pioneer in brake technology.
