Pierburg was founded in 1909 as a steel trader in Berlin; in 1928, Pierburg commenced with the production of carburetors and very soon graduated into sole supplier to all German automakers and many international motor vehicle producers and engine manufacturers. Decades of experience combined with comprehensive, innovative and globally acknowledged capabilities in every aspect of the engine are factors that have driven Pierburg in its mission of repeatedly developing and manufacturing forward-looking components, modules, and systems. Pierburg offers high-technology solutions: on-demand controlled electric coolant pumps, DC-motor driven exhaust gas recirculation systems, divert-air valves, as well as the many different versions of drive modules. All these developments help to create an economically and ecologically balanced automobile.
