Maha recognised as top supplier in German awards

Maha Group has been voted best brand in the ‘Pit Jacks’ category by German trade magazine WERKSTATT aktuell, securing nearly 20 per cent more votes than the runner-up.

The well-established industry award – formerly known as the ‘Best Brand Award’ – was presented for the eleventh time and is regarded as a reliable benchmark for workshop-relevant brands in the German market.

A total of 224 brands across 21 product categories were up for vote – ranging from pit jacks and lifting technology to testing and diagnostic equipment. A new record was set with 1,838 workshop and service professionals taking part in the voting.

Now called the ‘WERKSTATT aktuell Award’, the voting is made exclusively by industry professionals. Maha previously impressed in 2017 and 2020 in the categories of lifting systems and mobile column lifts respectively.

Holger Seeliger, product manager at Maha Group and responsible for in-ground lifting technology, said: “This award is a great recognition of our team’s ongoing development work.

“With every innovation – from the self-supporting axle crossbeam to the GMT series for safe unit removal, and most recently our breakthrough pit jack that prevents air intake into the oil chamber – we pursue one clear goal: practical solutions for everyday workshop needs.

“At Automechanika 2024, we presented our vision of a battery-powered pit jack for the first time – another milestone, born out of close collaboration with our customers.”

The company’s management also sees the award as an important validation: “We are absolutely delighted with this award and would like to thank all readers for their trust,” said Dr. Peter Geigle, managing director of Maha. “We are continuously working on progress. This award clearly confirms the quality of our products, our innovative strength, and our customer focus.”

Maha Ireland is responsible for the supply, installation and maintenance of the full range of Maha products throughout Ireland.
