MANN-FILTER hails brand and sustainability awards

MANN-FILTER has been awarded the 2025 PARTSLIFE environmental award for its more sustainable filters that use the renewable raw material lignin in filters.

The MANN+HUMMEL brand was honoured in the circular economy category at a ceremony in Hamburg in June and is donating its €3,000 (£2,600) prize money to a non-profit environmental association.

Marian Anton, MANN+HUMMEL business development manager, said: “For us, the use of environmentally friendly materials such as renewable raw materials is not a trend, but a matter close to our hearts.

Anton said the award also acknowledged the work of its project team and partner Gessner. 

PARTSLIFE is a service company specializing in sustainability and environmental management for the automotive aftermarket. Among other things, it supports companies in the implementation of environmental regulations, energy management, and the development of sustainable processes. 

Separately, MANN-FILTER also won this year’s German Brand Award for excellence in brand strategy and creation, brand communication – 360° campaign, and brand efficiency of the year  categories.

The two-time award-winning new packaging design project showcased the new MANN-FILTER Box.
