TMD Friction UK welcomes North East Ambulance Service

TMD Friction UK welcomed the North East Ambulance Service to its friction material manufacturing headquarters in Hartlepool to showcase its production facility delivering high-quality brake pads.

North East Ambulance Service and TMD Friction UK’s supplying partner Fleet Factors visited the facility as the entire fleet across the emergency vehicle network, from ambulances to rapid response vehicles, all fit TMD Friction UK’s leading Textar brand of commercial vehicle braking products.

Scott Irwin MIMI, head of technical training at TMD Friction UK, said: “It was great to welcome the North East Ambulance Service and Fleet Factors to our Hartlepool factory where we were able to show them our world-leading manufacturing capabilities and processes which deliver high-end braking friction products globally.

“The factory tour also demonstrated the exacting quality standards and checks at each stage of the friction material production process, which is crucial for safety-critical components, not least for emergency vehicles.”

TMD Friction UK and the ambulance fleet managers held a question and answers session where the technical training team provided further insight on developing brake pads for emergency vehicles.

“We received great feedback from our visitors, and TMD Friction UK looks forward to working closely with the Ambulance Service fleet managers and servicing technicians to develop a training plan and educate them further to ensure the ambulances and first responder vehicles are kept fully roadworthy,” Irwin added.
