Driving excellence for passenger cars
In our OE Passenger Car division we operate worldwide, offering customised solutions for local markets, and leveraging 145 years of brake pad and lining experience.
A history of tradition and service
Millions of drivers and passengers every day rely on genuine parts from TMD Friction for safe, comfortable braking. We take pride in every product we deliver to ensure it protects your reputation as an automotive OEM business. We leverage our expertise from over 140 years to develop brake pads and linings that are fit for the challenges of the future.
From us to you – our original products
At TMD Friction, we manufacture our own products. Our original equipment division has locations on four continents and ensures compliance with the highest standards to produce premium brake products. Together with vehicle and brake manufacturers, our engineers develop and test brake friction products that fulfill the highest requirements regarding comfort, performance and wear expectancy.
Our objective is not only to sell disc brake pads and drum brake linings – but also to develop the perfect technical solution for each respective application.
Our OE experience is such that we have been chosen to supply friction for the smallest cars, such as the Fiat 500, through to the world’s fastest and most powerful supercars, such as the Bugatti Veyron. We also design braking components for the very latest generation of electric vehicles with their unique requirements.
