Friction material suppliers

I represent a career lift truck mechanic recently diagnosed with mesothelioma. He serviced a wide range of trucks including Allis Chalmers, Crown, Clark and others. I am trying to determine suppliers of friction lining material to these OEMs. Any advice on locating this info? Interested in Akebono, Abex, Raybestos, Bendix, Rockwell and any others. Thanks in advance!
