The filtration specialist with headquarters in Ludwigsburg, Germany founded a sales office in August that will conduct its business from the South African metropole of Johannesburg.
Initially six employees will work at the new office, supporting automotive aftermarket customers and industrial customers in the southern part of the African continent.
Starting in 2017, MANN+HUMMEL will also supply customers from a logistics centre in Johannesburg.
As a result of the new location, MANN+HUMMEL is now represented on all continents and is therefore able to further pursue its strategy of being close to customers.
Josef Parzhuber, president and general manager automotive aftermarket at the MANN+HUMMEL Group, said: “South Africa is the largest automotive market on the continent of Africa and is characterised by good market conditions with regard to its political and economic stability.
“This step allows us to strengthen our position as a global company.
“We are close to our customers in terms of location and the solutions we offer.”
