Leistritz: A Century of Precision Engineering

Leistritz is a name rooted in craftsmanship and technical excellence. Founded in 1905 by engineer Paul Leistritz under the name "Maschinenfabrik Paul Leistritz" in Nuremberg, Germany, the company began by manufacturing metal vanes for large steam turbines and pioneering screw pump designs. Almost from the very start, the brand also turned its attention to the automotive world — early deliveries included silencers for motorbikes, automobiles, and stationary machines, and one of its factories became a major supplier of mufflers during the postwar era, including production of components for the iconic VW Beetle.

Over the course of more than a century, Leistritz has grown from a regional machine shop into a global technology group operating across four independent business units: turbine technology, pump technology, extrusion technology, and production technology. The company employs nearly 1,900 people across 13 locations worldwide and serves customers in roughly 21 industries. Despite this industrial breadth, Leistritz has never lost sight of the precision manufacturing heritage that underpins its reputation — a philosophy that extends directly into its automotive exhaust components.

Exhaust System Components Built to Exacting Standards

Leistritz's exhaust-related product line draws on generations of manufacturing experience in metal forming, tube bending, and high-tolerance production. Whether you are replacing worn hardware on a daily driver or refreshing the exhaust system on a fleet vehicle, Leistritz parts reflect the same attention to fit and finish that the company brings to aerospace and industrial applications.

The brand's exhaust clamps are engineered to create secure, leak-resistant connections between exhaust pipe sections — a critical detail for maintaining backpressure and minimizing cabin noise. For those working specifically around the muffler, Leistritz exhaust muffler clamps deliver the clamping force needed to keep muffler joints tight and rattle-free through the rigors of daily driving. The brand's exhaust hangers provide the flexible, vibration-absorbing mounts that keep the entire exhaust system properly suspended beneath the vehicle, protecting both the pipes and the chassis from stress. Rounding out the lineup, exhaust seal rings address the often-overlooked connection points where exhaust gases can leak if sealing surfaces are compromised.
