June news

John Hudson
We were joined in our April Zoom meeting by R17 member John Hudson, retired director of Textar, the company that more likely than not supplied the brake components that enable your Porsche to stop as well as it goes. John kept us in rapt attention as he gave us a presentation on brakes and the history of the parent company TMD, which you’ll probably be as surprised as I was to hear includes in its portfolio Textar, Mintex, Don and Pagid. Consequently, you won’t now be surprised to hear that the group is the world’s biggest supplier of automotive braking systems.
