The world of brake pads is (to me) a bit complex. Nashimbo Group (never hear of them? neither had I) own TMD Friction (based in Germany) who own/ produce Mintex, Pagid and Textar. TMD also produce pads under the Eichar name for exclusive sale by EuroCarParts. I guess that each brand produces pads of certain quality for each market niche? or are they just all the same but giving you the illusion of choice??  The Laird is a marketing man but is on holiday at the mo' but no doubt could help here. I think that Dilbert (C) has a view on this - "Dont make a better product, just find a more stupid (ignorant) customer"
EBC is one of the few private companies out there.
