Brake technology specialist TMD Friction is continuing its long held tradition of launching products quickly in 2021.

The company says 2020 an exceptional year in terms of new product additions with 827 new products spread across well-known brands; Textar, Don, Mintex and Nisshinbo and this year continues in the same vein.

“We are aware of how important it is for our customers to always have the latest parts in stock. We are actively helping to grow their business by providing the appropriate products for new vehicle models as quickly as possible,” says Michael Dunkel, Director Global Category & Product Management at TMD Friction. He adds, “Leading vehicle manufacturers fit their new models with TMD Friction brake linings. Our customers benefit from this in two ways, the products for the spare parts market are available more quickly and we know exactly what is required when it comes to defining the specifications.”

As international vehicle manufacturers increasingly rely on platform strategies, market coverage increases disproportionately with each new addition. The newly added products mean that more than 2,400 further passenger car types are covered in Europe.

Workshops can find out more about new TMD Friction products online via the usual catalogue platforms or via the TMD Friction brand catalogues, such as Textar Brakebook (www.brakebook.com).

“Our aftermarket team works hard every day to maintain availability of our large product range, despite all the coronavirus-related restrictions”, continues Dunkel. “Because without good and fast availability, the large market coverage benefits neither workshops nor drivers”.
