What’s changed with Mintex?

Following our latest brand refresh, the new Mintex doesn’t just offer a new tag line and an updated product portfolio – the packaging
has also undergone a transformation.

In addition to a new look, the new Mintex box is wider and flatter, making it easier to stack during storage. In addition, the brake pads
are now laid flat and wrapped in paper, offering extra protection during transportation.

Because we want our products to reach you in pristine condition – no matter how far they’ve come.

Following our latest brand relaunch, the new Mintex now features a refined product portfolio and a modernised look and feel. With a 110-year heritage and a name customers trust, Mintex stands out in its segment.
