✦ Synopsis

Mann+Hummel has set up a 100% subsidiary company Mann+Hummel Italia Srl, which officially came into being on 1 June 2004.

Based in Turin, and under the direction of Karl-Heinz Messner, Mann+Hummel's senior key account manager for General Motors worldwide, Mann+Hummel Italia will be responsible for the automotive OE, hydromation and industrial filter sectors.

The decision to set up the subsidiary comes at a time when Italy has become one of the most important car markets in Europe. In April 2004, the number of new registrations for passenger cars increased by 13%, compared with the previous month. The sustained upward trend in Italian vehicle production is expected to continue.

Mann+Hummel develops and produces automotive OE components such as air filter systems, intake systems, liquid filter systems and cabin filters.
