With a market presence spanning over 95% of passenger vehicles in Malaysia—including performance cars, electric vehicles, 4WDs, and commercial vehicles—Bendix is also an OEM supplier for Proton and Perodua. Its extensive network of 1,000 distributors, wholesalers, spare part dealers and workshops ensures that its products are widely accessible to both car owners and fleet customers nationwide.
