benefit of Hengst-developed items: the fruits of close system
partnerships with carmakers which are then serially produced.
The exceptional quality of Hengst filter solutions is reflected in
the numerous distinctions it has earned. Most recently, in
February 2014, Hengst was honored with the "Daimler Supplier
Award." Both companies have nurtured a close partnership,
which is already more than half a century old. Already in 2013,
the carmaker GM had honored Hengst with its "Supplier of the
Year" award, while in November of the same year, the Chinese
Hengst branch in Kunshan carried off the "GM Supplier Quality
Excellence Award" thanks to its above-average quality
standards.
Custom-made solutions for efficient passenger-car filtration
The close-knit system and development partnerships nurtured
within the automotive industry have spawned filtration solutions
perfectly suited to today’s needs. More efficient, more compact,
more reliable and better-performing - these are the targeted
product requirements. A whole series of customized solutions in
the passenger car field, including service filters covering all
needs, make up part of the Hengst range on show at this year’s
Automechanika event. Check out a summary outline here:

filter insert with the screw cap from the housing, with no risk of
any leaking oil. Slashing wastage now and in future.
The H340H oil filter system for modular diesel construction kit
Volkswagen AG | E340H D247 service filter insert
The weight-saving design manages to filter and cool the oil all in
one, within an ultra-compact space. The sustainable
technologies we leverage in this development also help boost
the overall system efficiency. Key innovations include the plastic
oil discharge screw in the filter cover as well as the direct screw
connection of the oil cooler.
Active customer focus – worldwide
Remaining close to our partner production sites in the
automotive industry as well as the key markets in the IAM
sector: Recent years have seen Hengst consistently consolidate
its global presence. The most recent addition comes in the form
of Hengst Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., handling business operations in
Singapore. The company intends to leverage the central location
of the metropolis to steadily consolidate its service filter
business for the IAM sector in South-East Asia. The advantages
of this location are self-evident: The relevant markets are easily
accessible, leaving the way clear to establish intensive and
personalized customer relationships. With this in mind, Hengst
is set to continue pursuing its successful internationalization
strategy. The company has already established independent
offices on four continents and six countries (Germany, USA,
Brazil, China, India and Singapore.)
The entire filtration world just one click away
The new Hengst company home page proves every bit as
functional as the filter solutions it presents: A trendy and
completely reworked design, for more clarity and a matchless
user experience. Winds of change have also spawned a special
version of the website, which is specially optimized for mobile
devices (smartphones and tablets.) As well as showcasing the
individual product ranges and filtration types, the company is
also offering a glimpse behind the scenes.
