Since the company was founded in 1958, we have been strengthening our filtration expertise in order to provide sustainable support to the Independent Automotive Aftermarket]. This knowledge is bundled in our clear message:
Built on OE. Made for the Aftermarket.
Our experience in OEM development gives us a decisive benefit: we sit at the development table at an early stage, recognize trends and requirements of future mobility and bring our experience directly to the aftermarket. This means that we deliver solution-oriented products, processes and services that are based on real requirements for today, while at the same time developing products for the challenges of tomorrow.
Quality that works reliably
For our customers, predictability is crucial: products must be reliable under all conditions, regardless of the vehicle model or application profile. Our OE-validated products undergo demanding tests. The focus is always on different areas of application and always in accordance with the defined standards. Here are a few examples of the standard tests:
- Filter efficiency and dust holding capacity in accordance with ISO 4548-12
- Differential pressure according to ISO 4548-1
- Collapse pressure according to ISO 4548-3
These tests significantly reduce returns, complaints and logistical effort. At the same time, it increases customer satisfaction in the garages and creates long-term loyalty through tested quality.
Security and trust through OE expertise
As online procurement increases, so does the risk of non-validated or counterfeit products coming into circulation. Every Hengst product comes from controlled production and demonstrably meets OE standards. This creates security during installation, trust in the trade and protects against expensive complaints and loss of image.
