Product development

Our path to perfection

New: The rear axle control arm for the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform

This is where progress is made - part by part

For us, everything revolves around better parts, product data and solutions with which we support our customers in the independent aftermarket.

MEYLE products are developed strictly in accordance with the requirements and specifications of our engineers, accompanied and tested during the production process. This involves an elaborate process from the initial identification of a potential new product through to the launch of series production.

Our Commitment

For us, manufacturing means more than just producing parts: It starts with the initial idea for a new or improved MEYLE HD or MEYLE PD part. A lot of time and energy goes into research, agreeing the specifications, sample and quality tests as well as the entire coordination before the part can go into series production.

Thanks to the great commitment of our product developers and engineers, we can proudly say that our parts are "ENGINEERED AND QUALITY APPROVED IN GERMANY". They are developed precisely according to our specifications in Hamburg, monitored during the production process and comprehensively tested. See the quality that goes into every MEYLE part for yourself!

When developing MEYLE parts, we always think from the customer and workshop perspective. Because our aim is to always be so good that we are happy to install our parts ourselves. We observe, we analyze, we develop - everything for what we consider to be the perfect spare part.

Our experts are passionate about their work every day. Their eyes and ears are close to the market. We combine theory with practice and (further) develop parts in such a way that they are innovative and offer real added value - whether for wholesalers, workshops or ambitious mechanics.

For us, customer-centric product development means not only (further) developing a product, but also thinking about processes. So that we can optimize ordering processes, for example, and save our customers time and money. Our products are therefore exactly what our customers need: solution-oriented!
