Hengst Strengthens its Position in
the Eastern-European Market
New location in Poland will take over filter production at the
end of May
Hengst is there for customers from the automotive industry all
over the world, quite literally: as part of the global growth
strategy, the company is putting yet another production location
into operation at the end of May, which at the same time will be
the automotive supplier’s first factory in Poland.
In Gostyń, Posen, the production of filters and filter inserts for
the independent aftermarket (IAM) will begin at the end of May.
With this extension of global production capacities, the company
seeks to expand its position in the important Eastern-European
markets. Hengst Poland Sp.z.o.o., newly founded as part of this
endeavor, will be headed by Zygmunt Wabiński, who brings with
him 25 years of experience in the world of filters.
The new establishment in Poland stands alongside the recentlyopened locations in Singapore and India. Hengst is now present
on four continents and in seven countries, with eleven locations
altogether. “This creates important conditions for taking into
account the particularities of the different international markets
and optimally aligning our development and production with
these,” explains Jens Röttgering, Chairman of the Board of the
Hengst Group. “The internationalization ensures the further
growth of our group of companies and therefore the jobs in
Germany at the same time.”
