Mexico · Phenolic Resins for Friction & Binding
Mexico's leading phenolic resin manufacturer, ISO/TS 16949 certified, with five plants serving the friction, abrasives, rubber, and adhesives industries across North America.
Feno Resinas was established in 1981 and manufactures phenolic resins at five production plants across Mexico (Tizayuca Hidalgo, San Nicolás de los Garza, Azcapotzalco, Lerma, and Apodaca).
Their ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 9000 certifications are the automotive-grade quality systems that support their friction and binding resin production. Phenolic resins are a foundational material in friction applications. They provide the heat resistance, mechanical strength, and processability that organic friction composites require.
PAT supplies Feno Resinas phenolic resins to US manufacturers working in friction materials, abrasives, and specialty binding applications. The Mexican origin provides a supply chain advantage for North American customers: shorter lead times than European or Asian sources, no ocean freight exposure, and simplified import logistics under USMCA.
For customers in the automotive brake and clutch supply chain, Feno's TS 16949 certification is a qualification requirement. PAT handles the documentation and compliance support that regulated supply chain customers need.
