Premium brand quality with a genuine partner

OEM supply and spare parts market – two areas that are joined at the hip. After all, relying on original equipment will always pay off when it comes to servicing engines: Service providers and vehicle users alike can trust that original equipment parts will give them the best possible filtration of air, oil or fuel. Ultimately, original equipment parts lay the foundation for flawless engine performance as well as longevity and dependable operation.

Filter manufacturers of Hengst’s standing manufacture products both as an OEM and a supplier for the global spare parts market – always adhering to same stringent quality standards in both areas. The comprehensive filter selection Hengst is offering on the independent aftermarket covers all common vehicle models of passenger cars, trucks and machinery used in agriculture and construction. All filters engineered for the OEM market are adopted into the aftermarket product range with the identical design and construction.

“Qualified service dealers and well-organized repair shops know exactly which supplier offers the parts with the best quality”, explains Oliver Nabrotzky, Group Director IAM. Opting for the seemingly “cheap” solution often proves to be costly in the end – e.g. when the filter does not work at 100 percent capacity or does not fit properly, resulting in consequential damage or additional expenses for servicing and repairs. Especially vehicle users who place prime importance on minimum idle times and superior reliability have come to appreciate the benefits and excellence only spare parts with OE quality can offer. No other products can beat quality filters when it comes to reliability.

Engines will not deliver the best possible operational reliability unless every filter is replaced on a regular basis. Regular filter changes will extend the lifetime of the engine by minimizing wear and ensure that the engine will always perform at its peak. Conversely, improperly performed filter changes or the use of incorrect filters will shorten the service life of an engine dramatically. Those affected by poor engine performance rarely know the causes of the premature engine wear they are experiencing. A common assumption is: “Well, that engine was just a stroke of bad luck”. Proper maintenance and the use of filters with original equipment quality are pivotal to achieving a longer engine life and reducing the risk of unforeseen breakdowns.

Since differences in quality are oftentimes not immediately apparent, customers should only settle on filters and filter inserts that are guaranteed to deliver faultless quality. You can expect such flawless quality from a manufacturer who supplies the same product to the motor and automotive industry as an OEM supplier and most commonly develops their filters in cooperation with automotive and engine manufacturers.

Hengst supplies a great number of esteemed vehicle manufacturers on the market for passenger cars, utility vehicles and machinery used in agriculture and construction. These include Audi, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti, DAF, DC, Deutz, EvoBus, Hyundai, Kia, MAN, Mercedes Benz, Opel, Porsche, Scania, Sinotruk, Volvo, VW, and Weichai.
