INAUGURAL
ISSUEwith the birth of MAHLe Clevite inc., we promised our customers that nothing about the great parts and service they received would change. we lied. Presenting the inaugural issue of the MAHLE Aftermarket news – a publication which provides updates and insight from behind-the-scenes of MAHLe Clevite inc. This issue features an interview with Arnd Franz; Director and General Manager MAHLe Aftermarket as well as a first-issue feature titled “who is MAHLe”. regular features are “Highlights” featuring new stories fresh at press time; “Featured Products” detailing
exciting items in the MAHLe Clevite Group; along with “On Location” and “Customer Portrait” offering a profile of MAHLe Clevite in the field along with a look inside one of many great MAHLe Clevite customers. So yes, something has changed in the level of service provided by MAHLe Clevite – changed for the better. Grab some coffee, sit back and hopefully you will enjoy the MAHLE Aftermarket news as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. After all, we have already started putting together the first issue for 2008 – due right around the corner.
