POweRED BY SUCCESS: TURBOCHARGER GASkeTS The average car driver will probably never get to see one. And yet, the turbocharger gasket gracing the cover of this year’s annual report performs an extremely important role in modern-day engines. After all, today’s combustion engines are only so economical because the energy contained in exhaust gases is reused by one or even multiple turbochargers. The gaskets are needed to seal off the housing of the turbocharger from the ambient air and thus prevent harmful emissions from escaping – good for the environment and good for ElringKlinger. We have developed a waste-optimized manufacturing process for this product and supply millions of turbocharger gaskets over the course of one year.
