Core business and market position
Leading player in turbochargers, with high barriers to entry due to aerospace-derived technology.
Turbo penetration is highest in Europe (70%+), driven by stringent emissions standards; U.S. at ~50%.
Commercial and industrial segments, though 31% of sales, contribute a larger share of profit and are less cyclical.
Winning over 50% of new business awards annually, expanding market share as industry consolidates.
Broadest turbo portfolio, including new products for marine and industrial applications.
Advanced technologies and electrification
Four technology pillars: high-speed rotating machines, air/gas compression, high-speed motors, and power electronics.
Fuel cell compressors and e-cooling compressors leverage in-house IP and are ready for scale.
E-cooling compressors offer double the performance in half the space, with applications in automotive, commercial vehicles, and HVAC.
E-powertrain technology enables higher power density with less material, reducing reliance on rare earths.
$1B electric product revenue target for 2030 remains, with potential upside as new opportunities emerge.
