Mahle, a company holding leading positions in the global market in the production of filters and engine components, was founded in 1920. Starting its journey with the modest production of pistons in Germany, Mahle quickly expanded its activities, becoming a significant global player in the automotive industry.

In 1972, the company took an important step by acquiring shares of the German company Knecht Filterwerke GmbH, a specialist in filter manufacturing. This integration strengthened Mahle's position in the filtration systems market and expanded its product portfolio.

Today, Mahle is a comprehensive supplier of a wide range of automotive components. Their assortment includes not only piston systems and cylinders but also gas distribution systems, air management systems, filters, and parts for electric vehicles. This makes Mahle a key player both in the original equipment market and in the aftermarket for spare parts.

In addition to manufacturing auto components, Mahle is actively engaged in research and development activities. The company focuses on creating innovative solutions in areas such as electromobility and advanced automotive technologies. This confirms Mahle's strategy to expand its presence and maintain leadership positions in the automotive industry.

Thanks to its innovative approach, Mahle strengthens its positions as one of the most important suppliers of components for the automotive industry in the global market.
