Direct peers

• Donaldson Company: Donaldson manufactures filtration systems for heavy-duty trucks, buses, and off-road equipment, serving both OEM and aftermarket channels. Comparable to SAMPA's Filter product category.
• Haldex: Haldex develops and manufactures brake and air suspension systems for heavy trucks, trailers, and buses. It is one of the closest direct peers to SAMPA in both brake and air-spring product categories, serving the same commercial vehicle aftermarket.
• SAF-Holland: SAF-Holland manufactures axle and suspension systems, brake and wheel-end components for trailers and heavy commercial vehicles. Its trailer-suspension and brake portfolio directly competes with SAMPA's offering.
• Firestone Industrial Products: Firestone Industrial Products (Bridgestone) manufactures air springs and air suspension components for commercial trucks, trailers, and buses. Directly comparable to SAMPA's Air Spring category.
• BPW Bergische Achsen: BPW is a European manufacturer of running gear systems, axles, and suspension components for trailers and heavy commercial vehicles. Comparable to SAMPA in trailer-suspension aftermarket positioning.
• Hendrickson Truck & Trailer Suspensions: Hendrickson manufactures heavy-duty suspension systems, axles, and related components for trucks, trailers, and buses. It is a direct competitor in SAMPA's suspension and air-spring product categories.

Broad incumbents

• Knorr-Bremse: Knorr-Bremse is the global market leader in braking systems and other systems for commercial vehicles (trucks, buses, trailers). SAMPA competes directly with Knorr-Bremse in the brake product category for the same heavy-duty aftermarket customers.
• WABCO (ZF Friedrichshafen): WABCO, now part of ZF, supplies braking systems, air suspension, and drivetrain components to heavy-duty truck and bus OEMs and the aftermarket. It is a direct comparator in SAMPA's brake and air spring/suspension categories.
• Meritor: Meritor (now part of Cummins) supplies drivetrain, mobility, braking, and aftermarket parts for commercial trucks, trailers, and specialty vehicles. It competes with SAMPA across brake and chassis-related heavy-duty product lines.
• Bosch Mobility (Commercial Vehicles): Bosch supplies a broad portfolio of commercial vehicle parts — including braking, filtration, fuel systems, and sensors — to OEMs and the aftermarket. It overlaps with multiple SAMPA categories and competes for the same heavy-duty service-channel shelf space.
