Founded in 1941 and headquartered in Ludwigsburg, Germany, MANN+HUMMEL is a global leader in filtration technology serving automotive, industrial, and environmental markets. With over 21,000 employees across more than 80 locations, the company faced growing complexity in managing its brand across multiple sub-brands, teams, and regions. In 2024, MANN+HUMMEL partnered with Frontify to implement a modern Brand Operating System that centralizes assets, guidelines, and collaboration in one place and is fully integrated with the existing tools and systems. The goal: consistent brand expression and streamlined creative operations worldwide.

The challenge: One brand, too many versions

As a multinational leader in engineering, the MANN+HUMMEL brand presence was fragmented across markets and regional teams. Digital assets were scattered in different systems, and brand guidelines were locked in static PDFs. This made it difficult for marketing teams and external partners to maintain consistency — people had no reliable way to locate up-to-date logos, templates, and rules, a gap that slowed campaigns, added friction to onboarding, and risked diluting brand impact worldwide.

“At MANN+HUMMEL, our ambition is to delight customers at every touchpoint and ensure our brand stands for clarity, innovation, and trust around the world. As we scale and evolve in a fast‑moving market, having a unified, accessible, and intuitive platform like Frontify empowers every team — from product to marketing — to deliver consistent, authentic brand experiences that reflect who we are and what we stand for.”
— Géraldine Tenten, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at MANN+HUMMEL

The solution: Everything in one place

Frontify provides a centralized platform — a trusted source of brand truth where digital assets, interactive guidelines, templates, and approval workflows coexist. The digital asset management (DAM) system ensures all files are centrally available, while dedicated portals give teams instant access to the latest content. With integrations and collaborative features, creative processes are simplified, and every team works confidently and efficiently, knowing they’re using the right assets. By transforming brand governance from static rulebooks into a dynamic resource, MANN+HUMMEL empowers employees to deliver high-quality brand experiences in every market and channel.

“In a complex global organization, effective brand governance depends on systems that empower teams to apply the brand consistently and independently, from creative to sales. With Frontify, we established the operating system for our brand and support our teams worldwide in their daily work.”
— Valentin von Vacano, Manager Global Marketing OE at MANN+HUMMEL

The result: One brand, one standard

Since implementing Frontify, MANN+HUMMEL has achieved greater global brand consistency — every team now works with the latest approved assets and guidelines. Creative and approval cycles are faster, and key bottlenecks are gone. Collaboration across functions and regions has improved significantly. Shared workflows and a common understanding have brought clarity and alignment throughout the organization. Beyond operational efficiency, Frontify has transformed how the brand is managed: All Teams now work with a flexible, living Brand Operating System that ensures a consistent and engaging experience at every touchpoint.
