Mann+Hummel Ba d.d. (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Mann+Hummel Ba d.d. is a company located in Tesanj. It was founded in 1938 by Adolf Mann and Dr. Erich Hummel, who initially owned the textile company Bleyle in Ludwigsburg. During the Second World War, they accepted an offer from the piston producer Mahle to produce engine filters, which led to the establishment of MANN+HUMMEL. After the war, the company faced challenges and had to restructure its production, shifting from filters to other articles such as domestic articles and plumbing fittings. However, they continued to develop their filter business. In the 1950s, MANN+HUMMEL transitioned to industrial mass production and expanded its production capacity to meet the increasing demand. They also established international distribution companies to cater to the growing exports. The company introduced social policy measures to make employment more attractive, including health insurance, profit sharing, and a company pension scheme. MANN+HUMMEL became a development partner and original equipment manufacturer for the automotive industry, focusing on innovations that improved engine performance and reduced pollutant emissions. They also increased the use of plastic in their production, enabling weight saving and more flexible product designs. The company expanded into the areas of hydraulics and liquid filtration. Environmental protection and recycling became important concerns for MANN+HUMMEL, and they implemented measures to meet the new requirements. The company experienced steady growth under family ownership and underwent organizational changes to consolidate its operations within the MANN+HUMMEL Group. They expanded their global reach by establishing subsidiaries in various markets. In 2009, the company adopted the long-term strategy of "Leadership in Filtration," focusing on quality, innovation, customer proximity, and growth through targeted acquisitions. MANN+HUMMEL has a global presence with over 80 sites and more than 22,000 employees. They are committed to developing intelligent filtration solutions for cleaner mobility, air, and water. The company headquarters are in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and they continue to expand their range of filtration products.
