Among the highlights on display will be a versatile CHRA for VAG applications, covering Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen models, as well as a popular ball-bearing CHRA designed for BMW 2.0D models.

Melett will also showcase a recent CHRA release for Hyundai i30, and Kia Rio, and Ceed 1.0L, alongside a turbo featuring a HELLA actuator for Jaguar Land Rover applications, including the F-PACE, XE, XF, Discovery and Range Rover models.

Darren Johnson, Group Sales Director at Melett, commented: “The growth of turbocharged vehicles, increasing vehicle lifespans, rising cost of living, and the need for sustainable manufacturing practices is driving demand, making reman an essential part of the aftermarket. Motortec Madrid is one of Europe’s leading platforms for the remanufacturing industry, bringing together key players from around the world.

From small repair workshops to large-scale remanufacturers, Melett provides precision-engineered turbo components that help businesses operate more efficiently and deliver long-term results.

Melett celebrates 30th anniversary with new core assembly production facility at European hub in Poland

Melett, celebrating its 30th anniversary, has officially announced the addition of a new turbocharger core assembly production facility to its existing distribution centre in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The facility, which became operational at the end of last year, strengthens Melett’s European capability and creates a centralised hub to serve customers across the European Union.

The additional footprint strengthens Melett’s European capability and creates a centralised hub to serve customers across the European Union.

The facility has been producing a range of Melett’s core assemblies (CHRAs) since late last year, complementing the site’s existing distribution operations. The operation has the capacity to scale up production to meet the growing demand for the company’s high-quality turbocharger components throughout Europe.

“The establishment of our new core production facility at our Bydgoszcz distribution centre is a strategic move that strengthens Melett’s presence in Europe,” said Chris Wallhead, managing director of Melett. “By co-locating production and distribution, we can better serve our European customers with increased agility, efficiency and responsiveness. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, Bydgoszcz is now the centrepiece of our European operations, positioning us for continued growth in this important market.”

The Bydgoszcz hub will play a vital role in the Melett’s global supply chain, working in conjunction with the company’s existing core assembly and turbocharger production operation in Barnsley, UK, its component plant in Changzhou, China, and its distribution centre in Memphis, USA.

These facilities will closely coordinate with the Bydgoszcz operation to ensure a steady, reliable flow of high-quality turbochargers, core assemblies and components to customers across European and international markets.

“The establishment of the new production facility at the Bydgoszcz hub is a testament to Melett’s continued investment in Europe and its commitment to serving the evolving needs of its customers,” said Wojciech Klimek, general manager of Melett Poland. “This facility will enable the company to better support both our local and European client base and meet the industry’s demand for quality turbocharger repair solutions, supporting the next 30 years of Melett’s growth and innovation in the turbocharger industry.”

Melett celebrates 30 years of expertise in the turbocharger aftermarket

BARNSLEY, YORKSHIRE, UK, February 28, 2025 – Melett, a global leader in the turbocharger aftermarket, proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. From humble beginnings in 1995 to its current status as part of the Wabtec Corporation, Melett’s journey has been marked by innovation, growth, and unwavering commitment to quality.

Melett’s journey began in 1995 when Melvyn Hackett, a veteran of the turbo industry, founded the company. Drawing from his extensive experience at Garrett and Rotomaster, Hackett laid the foundation for what would become a leader in the turbocharger aftermarket.

The company faced its first major challenge in 2001 with the sudden loss of its founder. However, under the new ownership of Ian Warhurst in 2002, Melett found renewed direction and continued its growth trajectory.

By 2006, Melett’s expansion necessitated a move to larger premises in Clayton West, Huddersfield. This move marked a period of substantial growth, allowing for increased product development and improved quality facilities.

A significant milestone came in 2011 with a €1.4 million investment in new headquarters in Barnsley, Yorkshire. This expansion greatly enhanced Melett’s global service capabilities, including improved warehousing, shipping, and engineering facilities.

Melett’s global footprint grew significantly in 2012 with the opening of Melett North America Inc., its first satellite office. This was quickly followed by the establishment of Melett Polska in 2013, strengthening the company’s presence in the European market.

The year 2014 saw Melett take greater control of its manufacturing operations. The company moved its in-house core production to a larger facility and launched a new manufacturing facility in China, marking a new era of production capabilities.

Further expansion came in 2016 with the addition of a 12,500 sqm warehouse adjacent to the UK Head Office. This significant increase in capacity allowed Melett to house an ever-expanding product range and enhance stock availability.

A transformative moment arrived in 2017 when Melett was acquired by the Wabtec Corporation, joining a global group of turbocharger solution providers. This acquisition opened new avenues for growth and technological advancement.

As Melett celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, it marks another milestone with the announcement of a new turbocharger core assembly production facility in Bydgoszcz, Poland. This latest expansion strengthens Melett’s European capability and creates a centralized hub to serve customers across the European Union, setting the stage for continued growth and innovation in the years to come.

“As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we reflect on our journey from a small UK business to a global leader in the turbocharger aftermarket,” said Chris Wallhead, managing director of Melett. “Our latest expansion in Poland is a testament to our continued growth and commitment to serving our European customers with excellence.

“The new facility in Bydgoszcz, Poland, creates a centralised hub to serve customers across the European Union, further strengthening Melett’s European capabilities.

“Looking ahead, Melett remains committed to innovation, quality, and customer service as it continues to shape the future of the turbocharger aftermarket industry.”
