Mahle was founded in Germany in 1920 and now enjoys a global presence with specialisms in pistons, cylinders, valve trains, filtration, and thermal management. The company acquired Letrika (Iskra) in 2014 which specialises in alternators and starters largely for agricultural and construction equipment. Stringent quality control and rapid problem-solving capabilities underpin Mahle's reputation.
