Shaping the future of braking for 110 years
8 September 2026 
Tomorrow’s mobility will redefine how we move – and how we stop. At Textar, we have spent over 110 years shaping the future of braking. From next-generation electric platforms to emerging mobility concepts, our engineers deeply understand the unique mechanical and environmental demands of tomorrow’s transport. Leveraging our deep expertise in friction material science, cutting-edge research facilities, and a proud legacy as an Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer, we continue to set the global benchmark for safety, comfort, and performance.
As vehicle technology rapidly evolves, we actively adapt our friction technology to support both current automotive fleets and the future of electric mobility:
- Engineered for next-gen platforms: Electric vehicles present distinct braking challenges – including increased vehicle weight from heavy battery packs, instant torque, and seamless integration with regenerative braking systems. Because electric cabins are virtually silent, brake noise and vibration become far more noticeable. We design specialised low-noise, high-durability friction formulations to solve these exact acoustic and performance demands.
- Global fleet coverage: We provide factory-grade braking components for virtually every make and model on the road today. Whether catering to legacy internal combustion engines, hybrid setups, or brand-new EV architectures, our product portfolio delivers comprehensive coverage across the globe.
- Material innovation & compliance: Beyond exceptional stopping power, our friction materials are formulated for quiet, clean operation. We prioritise low-dust and copper-free compounds that meet or exceed stringent global environmental laws and safety regulations, ensuring sustainable performance without compromise.
- Supply chain reliability & OE precision: By applying strict Original Equipment standards across every product line, we deliver consistent quality, exact fitment, and total confidence to parts distributors, repair workshops, and drivers worldwide.
By combining a century of friction science with forward-looking engineering, we deliver safe, comfortable, and fully compliant stopping power for every vehicle on the road – today and long into the future.
