HENGST
Was it fate or coincidence that the name Hengst, meaning "stallion" in German, became synonymous with horsepower, engines, and filters? This question has been pondered for over half a century, ever since Walter Hengst founded his company in 1958 in Münster, Germany. Today, Hengst SE, led by his grandson Jens Röttgering, continues its successful journey.
From the beginning, Hengst kept pace with the rapidly evolving automotive industry, focusing on filter production. Today, their vision is to "lead the filtration industry, making our planet cleaner," channeling their extensive expertise into developing environmentally friendly filtration solutions.
For Hengst, filtration is more than just keeping things clean. It's a complex process involving physics, chemistry, and geometry. Filters have become more compact, lightweight, and easy to maintain, while innovative solutions turn them into multifunctional fluid management systems that meet the highest standards.
