MAHLE Service Solutions is partnering with MAHLE Engine Components to relocate production from York, Pennsylvania, to a shared facility in St. Johns, Michigan.

The move, which will take place by the end of the year, is designed to help the company profit from organizational synergies and increase development of the next generation of repair shop and diagnostic equipment.

The move will also provide an improved customer service experience and increased overall efficiency, MAHLE says.

MAHLE Service Solutions will assemble its PRO series of shop tool and equipment products in St. Johns, including its ArcticPRO (featuring its new next generation of A/C service units), FluidPRO (fluid exchange systems), and NitroPRO (nitrogen tire inflation systems) products. Production is expected to begin by the end of 2019.

“This new facility reinforces our market offerings that provide outstanding customer value, less downtime and a low total cost of ownership over the lifetime of each product,” MAHLE Service Solutions General Manager Rich Wolf said.

On a related note, the MAHLE Engine Components facility in St. Johns has won the GM Supplier Quality Excellence Award every year since 2012.
