Have used Mintex on my D1 and they've proved to be a good product.
Mintex I believe still make lots of "labelled "products for other companies ranging from Toyota OEM & after market through their own brands (the company is now TMD Friction the "M" stands for Mintex & the "D" stands for Don - the "T" stands for Textar).......they also have the brand names....Pagid, Correq & Cosid which I just haven't seen in the UK
The Mintex product was always pretty good - Lucas with their Girling brand that disappeared well before Varity merged with Lucas used Mintex to make pads & shoes for them - Lucas Varity now Delphi I don't know where they source their kit from now.
Mintex went by the wayside for a spell.....they only had ISO 9000 didn't achieve the Automotive QS9000 & didn't have TS 16949 which weakened their stance....they struggled to get the Toyota QMS status....
The West Yorkshire site....the original Scandura - Mintex founding site is now gone & some manufacturing is at the Hartlepool site ....most of the product comes from Romania.
But if TMD provide for Toyota the Quality standard applies for the site not just the Toyota "line".....I have some good friends that worked at the Cleckheaton West Yorks site...they didn't get shipped with the machines to nearly Geordie land or Romania....the quality / durability remains to be seen.....but not on my carBREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
