Automotive supplier Mahle plans to sell its Mahle Powertrain U.S. engineering services business, Mahle Powertrain LLC, to the Dumarey Group. Both parties have signed a contract to this effect at the end of 2024. The transaction includes the Mahle Powertrain facilities in Plymouth, Michigan, with currently around seventy employees, providing testing and engineering services to U.S. customers. Closing is expected in the first quarter of 2025.
The Mahle Powertrain branches and their locations outside the United States are not part of the sale and will continue their business from five dedicated facilities in the United Kingdom, Germany, and China, fully integrated in the Mahle Group’s R&D network.
Mahle Powertrain is the engineering services subsidiary of the Mahle Group providing engineering and consultancy services for the design, testing, development, calibration, and integration of electrified powertrain systems and hybridized internal combustion engines. The decision to sell the U.S. branch is a result of an ongoing review of the long-term strategic positioning of Mahle.
The engineering services market in the U.S. is highly competitive with consolidation of the business to be expected.
