TMD Friction to introduce new packaging for its DON brand
Luxembourg, Leverkusen, February 2017. TMD Friction´s commercial vehicle (CV) brand, DON, has strengthened its visual presence with an overhaul of its packaging to reinforce its identity as a leading brake brand within the industry.
The CV linings have previously been welded in a transparent foil, however, the new packaging will soon be available in a robust foil scattered with the iconic DON logo to not only help the product stand out on the shelf, but to also ensure authenticity against counterfeit products. The new design will be introduced step-by-step.
As part of world-leading brake pads manufacturer TMD Friction, DON benefits from the company’s extensive research and development to provide uncompromising quality and reliability at a market-leading price performance ratio.
DON has been offering price-conscious hauliers and garages high-quality products for more than 100 years and each friction material is developed specifically for its respective vehicle type and brake system. With a strong reputation within the CV market, DON has more than 500 references in standard, over and under size, offering maximum coverage.
