MANN+HUMMEL's presence in the United States began in 1994 with the establishment of MANN+HUMMEL Filter Technology Inc. in Glenview, Ill. To support a growing customer base and meet market demand, the company added locations in Michigan, North Carolina, and Tennessee over the past ten years. On Nov. 1, 2013, MANN+HUMMEL added the newly opened MANN+HUMMEL North Carolina Innovation Center on Centennial Campus, in partnership with North Carolina State University, to its family of facilities in North America. The company will continue its expansion later this year by establishing a North American headquarters for its AA and IF divisions in Raleigh, N.C. The move represents a long-term investment and commitment to the people and communities in America, as well as supporting their customers and growing market demand.
With the acquisition of Purolator and establishment of MANN+HUMMEL Purolator Filters on April 1, 2013, MANN+HUMMEL strengthened its position and market coverage in the United States. Since 1923, Purolator has served markets in the Americas and Asia region with more than 2,000 filtration part numbers. Combined with MANN FILTER, it will provide customers around the globe with a more robust product offering and service.
