Kolbenschmidt Pierburg has found a great engine for international growth. The company is one of the world's largest piston makers. It also manufactures engine blocks, bearings, water pumps, and injection moldings, and is engaged in the development of air-supply modules, exhaust systems, fuel-delivery units, and components for emission control. Customers include DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and Porsche. The company -- formed after the merger of German manufacturers Kolbenschmidt and Rheinmetall -- oversees Rheinmetall's global automotive operations. Rheinmetall owns about 74% of Kolbenschmidt Pierburg, which, in turn, accounts for more than a third of the parent company's sales.
