Textar is a German brand specialized in the manufacture of high-quality braking components for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The brand is part of the TMD Friction group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of friction materials for the automotive industry. Textar was founded in 1913 as a distribution company and began its own production of brake components in 1934. Since then, the brand has built a rich history, including an important collaboration in the 1950s with Mercedes-Benz for the development of brakes for Formula 1.

Over the years, Textar has become a supplier of braking systems for a wide variety of vehicles, from early passenger cars to high-performance supercars such as the Bugatti Veyron. The brand supplies both original equipment and the aftermarket and is active in more than eleven countries.

Textar continues to innovate by developing advanced braking technologies that meet the demands of modern vehicles. A strong focus is also placed on sustainability, with ongoing optimization of production processes to be more environmentally friendly. Quality and safety remain the brand’s core values, ensured by strict production standards.
