Mann+Hummel, the world’s largest manufacturer of filtration products, is continuing its long relationship with Messe Frankfurt at Automechanika 2024.

The company specialises in the design, production and distribution of high-quality filtration systems for automotive and industrial applications. Its operations support both the local market and broader regional needs, ensuring reliable access to advanced filtration technology.

According to Azhar Jaleel, Head of Marketing for the ISMEA Region (Indian Subcontinent, Middle East and Africa), Mann+Hummel is a regular participant at Automechanika Dubai and at Automechanika Frankfurt, but decided to take the plunge at the Johannesburg edition this year with the hope of increasing its footprint in the Southern African region.

The company is using the opportunity to promote its two flagship products, the Mann and Wix filters.

MANN filters are premium products targeting high-performance requirements in automotive and industrial settings. They provide exceptional filtration for engines and cabins, ensuring optimal protection against contaminants while enhancing operational efficiency and air quality.

“We are proud of our association with Messe Frankfurt and firmly believe in the Automechanika brand,” said Jaleel.
