The Boysen Group's core business is the development and manufacture of high-performance exhaust systems and components for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and off-highway applications. At 30 locations worldwide, our current workforce of around 5,300 employees develops and manufactures exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters, particulate filters, silencers, tailpipe trims and complete exhaust systems for cars, commercial vehicles and off-highway applications.
In addition, we have been driving forward the technological transformation since 2016. With new product groups such as battery cases, hydrogen storage systems, control elements and electronic components, we are writing the next chapter in our company's history, which spans more than 100 years. Other important building blocks of our future strategy include the manufacture of sustainable energy storage systems (redox flow battery systems) and fuel cells, as well as basic and product development in the field of hydrogen technology.
Our three development centres in Altensteig, Nagold and Simmersfeld form the basis of our innovative spirit. We also have production sites in Altensteig, Simmersfeld, Nagold, Heubach, Salching, Ingolstadt, Plauen and Achim, as well as in France, Egypt, South Africa, India, China, Mexico, Hungary, Serbia, Romania and the USA. Our main customers include the German vehicle manufacturers Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and VW, the British brands Bentley and Rolls-Royce, and the commercial vehicle manufacturers Daimler Truck and MAN.
Alongside our development expertise, one of the key features of our operations is that we are able to offer just-in-sequence (JIS) production and delivery of complete exhaust systems. As a system partner to the automotive industry, we are well aware of our customers' increasing requirements. We are deeply involved in all processes, continuously optimise our internal procedures and demonstrate our great strength when it comes to combining specialist knowledge with imagination. This is the only way to deliver tailored solutions that look to the future and provide our partners with crucial competitive advantages.
Linked to this is a clear performance promise:
We are Boysen. We do it better.
