About Corteco: Freudenberg's Aftermarket Authority

Corteco is the dedicated aftermarket brand of the globally renowned Freudenberg Group, a company with roots stretching back to 1849. Freudenberg entered a partnership with Italian seal manufacturer Corte & Cosso in 1957 — a collaboration that gave rise to the Corteco name itself. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies formally founded Corteco in 1996, and since then the brand has earned a strong reputation providing spare parts in original equipment quality.

Corteco is the aftermarket brand of the Freudenberg Group, meaning it is the name Freudenberg uses to sell their products in the automotive aftermarket. This direct lineage from an OEM supplier is what sets Corteco apart: because Corteco can offer OE-quality solutions identical to those used by OEMs, using a Corteco component guarantees both fit and performance on par with the original part.

An Extensive Product Range Built on Precision Engineering

The Corteco product range comprises more than 26,000 spare parts, divided into four main product groups: sealing, vibration control, steering and suspension, and filtration. From valve stem seals and gaskets to engine kits, mounts, pulleys, chassis and brake hoses, and engine intake air filters, Corteco offers a comprehensive range of high-quality components for passenger cars, heavy-duty vehicles, and two-wheelers.

Within the vibration control segment, Corteco's engine crankshaft pulleys stand out as precision-engineered torsional vibration dampers. Corteco's torsional vibration damper effectively decouples the belt drive from the crankshaft, minimizing vibration transmission and reducing stress on adjoining components — extending the lifecycle of the belt and belt tensioner while enhancing driving comfort.

The brand's vibration control expertise also extends to engine mounts, which are among Corteco's most recognized products. Your car's engine is constantly subjected to torque-induced motion, and the engine mounts absorb this constant loading and unloading of pressure — eventually weakening over time. Corteco's rubber-to-metal engine mounts are engineered to match original specifications exactly, restoring ride quality and reducing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) to factory standards.

Corteco also covers ride-height-critical applications with its air suspension springs, providing OEM-matched replacements for vehicles equipped with complex air suspension systems. With over 7,000 high-quality parts, Corteco's steering and suspension range covers everything from bushings to complete suspension kits for a wide range of vehicle applications.
