As the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies, the shortage of medical equipment has become a critical issue. MANN+HUMMEL has announced that it will collaborate with Ford Motor Company, one of its key automotive customers, in the rapid development and production of powered air purifier respirators.  

Josef Parzhuber, President and General Manager of MANN+HUMMEL’s Automotive Aftermarket, will leave the global filtration leader effective 30th April 30. Parzhuber has been with MANN+HUMMEL since 2011 and has played a significant role in developing the global automotive aftermarket business during his tenure. The search for a successor for his position is still ongoing.

At its headquarters in Ludwigsburg, filtration specialist MANN+HUMMEL presented a technology which reduces nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) at locations with high levels of pollution. At the end of last year, Filter Cubes from MANN+HUMMEL were successfully installed at the busy Neckartor road junction in Stuttgart to reduce the level of fine dust pollution.
