Holden brake supplier Bendix enters voluntary administration

The Australian company behind Bendix, a former supplier to Holden, Ford and other local carmakers, has entered voluntary administration after more than 70 years of manufacturing.

The Australian company behind brake manufacturer Bendix has entered voluntary administration less than 12 months after celebrating its 70th anniversary.

FMP Group (Australia) Pty Limited, whose name stands for Friction Materials Pacific, reportedly appointed Grant Thornton’s Tianne Nagy-Jones and Philip Campbell-Wilson as joint administrators on October 26, 2026.

“It's business as usual at Bendix, our new owners will be announced soon,” a spokesperson for the company told CarExpert.

MSR sponsor downplays entering administration

MATT Stone Racing naming rights sponsor Bendix insists it’s business as usual despite its parent company going into voluntary administration.

Tianne Nagy-Jones and Philip Campbell-Wilson of Grant Thornton Australia Limited were on Monday (October 26) appointed as joint administrators of FMP Group (Australia) Pty Limited.

FMP – i.e. Friction Materials Pacific – is the Australian company behind Bendix.

The brake manufacturer’s backing has underpinned MSR’s #10 entry since the start of 2024.

That span has been headlined by a total of six podiums including two race wins for Nick Percat (2024-25), plus a Bathurst 1000 pole position for Zach Bates.

Asked if the administration news would have any impact on MSR, a team spokesperson pointed to the official line from Bendix:
