There are three regions in the international market for components for engine-cooling systems and air-conditioning: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Kendrion Linnig is the European market leader in compressor and fan clutches. The company faces technical competition in the engine-cooling segment from companies offering solutions not based on electromagnetic components. But as the requirements on engine cooling and emission reductions become increasingly stringent, Kendrion is increasingly convinced that the company is in the right position to expand its share of the market.

Although Commercial Vehicle Systems is still a niche player in the USA and South America, the business unit has implemented ambitious objectives that will enable it to achieve steady growth. The situation in Asia is also conducive to growth, and Kendrion is working on new projects with a large number of new customers in that region.
