MAHLE Inside
MAHLE Aftermarket
simple, clear, compact

simple, clear, compact

When there’s quality inside, you should be able to tell right away from the outside: that’s why MAHLE Aftermarket products will come in newly designed packaging since beginning 2019—simple, clear, compact.

Bold colors, concise information, and a clear design will facilitate handling in trade and workshops. We haven’t changed the labels—the high level of security remains the same.

WHY A NEW PACKAGING DESIGN?

Strengthen the MAHLE brand by remaining all subbrands
Modern and clear layout
Simplification of your daily work due to simpler handling

Please note that there may still be overlaps between the two packaging designs in the transition phase. In both you find the proven MAHLE quality.

How you benefit from the new packaging:

Simple. Clear. Compact.

All the relevant details at a glance
Easy identification in the warehouse
Easy handling

ALL CHANGES AT A GLANCE:

Colour changes: To strengthen our corporate color "blue" and the MAHLE umbrella brand, we harmonize all packaging:
All of our products of the MAHLE sales brand will be displayed in blue in the future—also engine parts (formerly red).
Also the products of the sales brand BEHR will be displayed in blue (formerly orange).
Exception: KNECHT FILTER will still be displayed in orange packaging.

Bold, full-surface colors for a strong impact at a distance
Additional supporting illustrations and reader-friendly position of product description
Only the essential information is displayed

HOWEVER, THE LABELS WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED TO GUARANTEE THE SAME HIGH LEVEL OF SECURITY.

MAHLE ORIGINAL IS BECOMING MAHLE:

If it says MAHLE on the outside, it’s got the original on the inside. That’s why, beginning in 2019, our global sales brand will become simply MAHLE.
