ArvinMeritor Inc has signed an exclusive distribution agreement, effective immediately, with FrasLe to supply customers in Mexico with FrasLe-branded aftermarket brake lining for heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and buses.

Initially, three FrasLe friction mixes will be offered in 18 variations, resulting in about 100 new part numbers. Fleet customers will be able to purchase bulk-loose friction materials or riveted-on shoes with full brake kit hardware. This friction material complements the Meritor MA friction lining offering. ArvinMeritor began offering FrasLe friction materials in the United States and Canada in 1995. Based in Caxias do Sul, Brazil, FrasLe maintains sales offices in Farmington Hills MI.
