Mahle – German Leader in Engine Component Manufacturing

Founded by Hermann Mahle on 1st December 1920, this date is celebrated as the brand’s official birthday. In 1922, Ernst Mahle joined as an engineer and introduced the groundbreaking piston design with sealing rings. This innovation made Mahle one of the most significant brands in the history of automotive component manufacturing and revolutionised internal combustion engine design.

Mahle’s revolutionary piston design was quickly adopted by leading car manufacturers worldwide. This propelled the brand to market leadership and provided the resources to expand into producing other critical engine components such as timing system parts, crankshaft bearings, and crankshafts.

The expertise and reputation of the innovators from Bad Cannstatt ensured that Mahle’s products became highly sought after. Today, Mahle is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of original equipment (OE) parts for the automotive industry and a trusted supplier of spare parts that ensure engines operate reliably and perform to factory specifications. As the industry evolves, Mahle continues to innovate, supplying components for electric and hybrid vehicles with the same reliability it has provided to combustion engines for over a century.
