About Mahle
Founded in 1920 by Hermann Mahle in a small workshop in Bad Cannstatt, Germany, MAHLE was born from a vision to revolutionize the internal combustion engine. Joined by his brother Ernst in 1922, the Mahle brothers pioneered the use of light-alloy pistons, a foundational innovation that set the company on a path of continuous technological advancement. Their commitment to quality and performance, combined with a deep understanding of engine mechanics, has propelled MAHLE from its humble beginnings into one of the world's leading automotive suppliers.
The founders' vision was not just to build components, but to create integrated systems that would shape the future of mobility. Today, MAHLE's product portfolio is a testament to this, encompassing a wide range of solutions for powertrain and air conditioning technology. This includes engine systems and components, filtration and engine peripherals, and thermal management systems. With a strong focus on the strategic fields of e-mobility and thermal management, MAHLE is at the forefront of developing solutions for the climate-neutral mobility of tomorrow, including fuel cells and highly efficient, clean combustion engines.
