MANN+HUMMEL GmbH, the global filtration leader and a regular exhibitor at Automechanika fairs worldwide, marked a significant step this year by participating in the India edition — ACMA Automechanika, New Delhi.

“Our participation at ACMA Automechanika New Delhi marks an important strategic milestone for MANN+HUMMEL,” Ms. Hasmeet Kaur, President Transportation Division (Passenger Car, Heavy Duty, Industry & Aftermarket), of the company said.India is no longer just a high-growth aftermarket — it is becoming one of the most structurally important markets globally, with increasing demand for quality, professionalisation of the trade, and longer vehicle lifecycles, she noted.

This show allows the company to engage directly with the Indian aftermarket ecosystem — distributors, workshops, retailers, and industry stakeholders — and “to signal our long-term commitment to the market,” she mentioned.

“With our aftermarket brands MANN-FILTER, WIX and FILTRON, we bring global filtration leadership, OE competence, and application-driven solutions that are designed to perform reliably under Indian operating conditions — today and in the future,” she said.

Competition in filtration is intense, but being the world’s largest automotive filtration provider by far, the company’s leadership is built on fundamentals that are difficult to replicate. “Our differentiation starts with OE competence and global R&D, which allows us to transfer proven technologies and quality standards directly into the aftermarket. This ensures consistent performance, protection of critical vehicle components, and reliability under real-world conditions,” she pointed out.

Beyond products, the company invests heavily in application coverage, brand strength, and disciplined go-to-market execution. It supports partners with training, technical expertise, and demand-generation initiatives that help them grow sustainably.

“Ultimately, we do not position ourselves as a short-term supplier. We position ourselves as a long-term partner — and that mindset is what keeps us ahead in a crowded market,” Ms. Kaur added.
