It is the same pad but marketed as Axxis in US and PBR in Canada, by a company in Australia.

Yes, Alex is right. BPR/AXXIS (formerly REPCO) are all the same company. Both are made by FMP (Friction Materials Pacific) in Australia. FMP is 51% owned by Honeywell Friction Materials and 49% owned by PBR (automotive division of Pacifica Group Ltd). Honeywell Friction also owns Bendix and Jurid.

I am a sponge when it comes to brake pad info. I actually have a big brake pad info spreadsheet that I keep updating. I think it's a sickness. :)
