As Ireland transitions from winter/spring into summer, workshops are increasingly dealing with the aftermath of months of harsh road conditions.

Brake Engineering is aiming to simplify brake caliper supply to the aftermarket with a major reduction in surcharge costs across its best-selling range, removing a key barrier for garages and motor factors when purchasing remanufactured components.

Apec Automotive has further strengthened its comprehensive braking portfolio with an expanded range of caliper carriers, engineered to deliver the precision, strength and reliability required at the core of modern braking systems.

LKQ Euro Car Parts is bringing Starline’s innovative BlackStar coated discs to workshops for the first time, providing technicians with highly durable, corrosion resistant braking products that can save on installation time.

Automotive aftermarket brand NAPA has released its new range of caliper carriers across the UK and Ireland. This product launch expands upon the brand’s comprehensive portfolio of braking components and accessories.

Apec has announced a significant expansion of its Apec Red and Apec Blue braking ranges, introducing 94 new braking products in March 2026.

Don has recently expanded its range of front and rear brake pads for the Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos, Arocs and Econi vehicles.

Brakes work through the slow application of pressure on the brake pad by a caliper, which causes the friction material of the pad to press into the spinning brake disc, slowing movement to a stop.

Textar has added to its expansive aftermarket product range by manufacturing first-to-market brake pads for the Maxus Deliver 9. The new brake pad set can be found under article number 2623001.
