MANN+HUMMEL CUTS COSTS AND BOOSTS EFFICIENCY WITH ELGI’S COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM - SAVING OVER $160,000 AND 2 MILLION KWH ANNUALLY

Mann+Hummel, one of the global leaders in providing filtration systems, has successfully overhauled its compressed air system in partnership with Pattons Inc., USA, a subsidiary of Elgi Equipments Limited (BSE: 522074 | NSE: EL-GIEQUIP).

The new system, powered by ELGi’s advanced air compressors and dryers, has led to substantial cost savings, improved production efficiency, and enhanced product quality, transforming Mann+Hummel’s manufacturing operations.

Mann+Hummel serves numerous industries, that include automotive, agriculture, construction, data centers, energy, food and beverage, and many more. The company relied heavily on compressed air and clean water in its manufacturing processes, and an outdated and often faulty air compression system led to more than 20 air-related downtime incidents per day and 30 gallons of contaminated water per hour. This cost the company more than $160,000 each year, leading to delays, wasted resources, and increased supply chain backlogs.

“When an air system fails, it doesn’t just stop production — it causes ripples across the supply chain, delaying product shipments, increasing maintenance costs, and ultimately impacting customer operations,” said Steven Owens, Senior Manager, Manufacturing Engineering, Mann+Hummel.

“It was like we had a brand-new plant,”
