Throughout the world, the name ThyssenKrupp Bilstein is synonymous with innovation and high-tech engineering in the shock absorbers technology. With its competence for the entire chassis, the company – with production facilities in Europe, NAFTA, and China – supplies auto parts for the complete spectrum of damping applications.

On top of this, ThyssenKrupp Bilstein has for many years now been a much sought-after partner in the motor sports and tuning sector. ThyssenKrupp Bilstein is an operative business unit in the Components Technology business area.

When Bilstein was founded in 1873, its success came from selling metal window fittings under the name AUBI. However, it wasn't until 1928 that Bilstein began manufacturing bumpers for the automotive industry. In 1954 Bilstein began to realize the importance of vibration damping in automobiles. The company has focused on vibration technology ever since. 1957 saw the first serial use of gas-pressure shock absorbers in Mercedes-Benz automobiles.

In 1961 Bilstein entered motorsports for the first time and by 1989 all DTM (German Touring Car Championship) cars are fitted with their Bilstein shocks. In 1998 production of air-suspension modules begins in Mandern, Germany.

Bilstein shock absorbers are carefully tuned for optimum road adhesion and all materials are chosen with performance and durability in mind. Bilstein also manufactures OE specification coil springs that are produced with high quality steel and coated for a long working life.
