MAHLE Aftermarket Inc. Enters the Performance Piston Ring Market with Broad Application Coverage for Street and Race Applications
Farmington Hills, MI (January 23, 2018)…MAHLE Aftermarket Inc., a leading performance engine component manufacturer and global supplier of piston rings announces MAHLE Performance rings; a new brand and a further step in the strategy of MAHLE Aftermarket to offer all performance products in a specialized product category.
MAHLE Performance rings have been available through MAHLE Aftermarket Inc., and are now offered in a new performance package. This makes it easier for MAHLE customers to stock and sell the line. The part numbers will not change and coverage continues to grow.
Being one of the world’s largest piston ring manufacturers, MAHLE can offer superior technology in products and materials at a competitive price. SAE9254 steel is the base material for most compression rings, allowing HVOF coatings and PVD coatings to be applied as the application requires. This also enables MAHLE to offer advanced designed second rings from this same steel.
“MAHLE has had the good fortune to have longstanding relationships with top racers to help develop this line,” says Jon Douglas, President of MAHLE Aftermarket North America. “We work closely with our MAHLE plants on product advancements and just as closely with top racers and performance engine builders so they can take advantage of the products we make.“
Douglas went on to say, “Piston rings are a core MAHLE product globally. The shift in branding to where we offer a ’MAHLE Performance piston ring’ is a component of the overall MAHLE Performance line of engine parts as a means of demonstrating our commitment to the racing and performance industry.”

I have to say, the picture of the rings with the Steel bench behind it is the most awesome accidental SIFI looking image I’ve ever seen.
