About MAHLE:
MAHLE has a local presence in all
major world markets. In 2014, some 65,000 employees at more than 140
production locations and ten major research and development centres
are expected to generate sales of around ten billion euros. With its
two business units, Engine Systems and Components as well as
Filtration and Engine Peripherals, MAHLE ranks among the top three
systems suppliers worldwide. In 2014, the former Behr Group will be
integrated into the MAHLE Group as the Thermal Management business unit.
All of the group’s non-automotive activities are combined in the industry business unit with products from the application areas of filtration, thermal management, and large engines for industrial purposes. The aftermarket business unit serves the independent spare parts market with MAHLE products in OE quality. The engine components developed and produced by MAHLE Motorsport are subject to the most demanding requirements in terms of precision and durability and are used, for example in the DTM, Formula 1, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the WEC, the WRC, and in the American NASCAR series.
