We have come a long way since our foundation in 1993. With state-of-the-art technology, a lean ideology, and a customer-centered strategy, we have positioned ourselves as one of the world’s leaders for Exhaust Systems, Thermal Insulation, and Advanced Materials for gasoline, diesel, hybrid and EV applications across the world.
Our flexibility to adapt to customer needs and our appetite for growth have driven us to become a global, full-service Tier 1 supplier, composed of close to 2,000 highly motivated professionals from more than 20 countries around the world.
Our evolution over the last 3 decades has transformed us into a trusted partner for our customers. No matter how complex the requirements, we are able to engineer, design, simulate, prototype, test, and manufacture products ranging from simple components to highly complex full-system solutions.
