MAHLE successfully completes Keihin acquisition

• Takeover of Keihin’s air conditioning business on February 1, 2021
• Approval by the antitrust authorities
• Acquisition of five locations in Asia and North America
• Strengthening of MAHLE’s position in the important future field of air conditioning

“With this important acquisition, we are strengthening our presence and customer connections in Asia and North America in a business area that will become even more important not only for conventional drives, but especially for alternative drives. We want to continue growing in this area in particular,” says Dr. Jörg Stratmann, Chairman of the MAHLE Management Board and CEO.

A total of around 1,700 people are employed at the new locations. Air conditioning units and components for their peripherals are developed and manufactured here. With alternative drives, the demands on the efficiency and performance of the air conditioning system are significantly higher, as it directly impacts the range of electric vehicles and thus customer acceptance, among others.
