Yes, an OEM manufacturer is an OEM manufacturer. Suppliers like Textar, and Pagid make parts that are sold to MB with the three-pointed star and purchased at a dealer. However, they also make parts without the three-pointed star, which are sold under their own name and believe it or not, are actually a little different than the actual OEM pads for that car. That is what is meant by OEM aftermarket. An OEM Mercedes manufacturer that is making a modified part for the aftermarket.
