Melett, a globally recognised manufacturer and distributor of precision-engineered turbochargers and parts, has been awarded the HELLA “Sales Star – Turbo Actuators” accolade, recognising the company for achieving the highest global sales of electronic actuators last year.

The award highlights Melett’s leadership in supporting quality turbocharger repairs worldwide and celebrates the impressive growth achieved through its strategic collaboration with HELLA.

Powering Performance Through Precision: The Melett–HELLA Collaboration

The HELLA “Sales Star” award is the latest achievement in a partnership that has set a new benchmark for quality in the turbocharger aftermarket. HELLA, a Tier 1 OE supplier and global leader in electronic turbo actuator technology, has partnered with Melett to deliver OE-standard actuator solutions for turbocharger repair professionals.

Melett is trusted by turbocharger specialists across the globe for its premium-quality turbochargers, core assemblies (CHRA), and turbo parts that meet or exceed OEM standards. Manufactured in ISO/TS16949-certified facilities, Melett components are designed for professionals who refuse to compromise on reliability.

HELLA’s expertise in automotive electronics and mechatronics has resulted in actuators that use advanced CIPOS (Contactless Inductive Position Sensor) technology. This system provides precise, real-time measurement of the actuator’s arm position, critical for adjusting a turbocharger’s variable geometry vanes., HELLA actuators are engineered for exceptional precision, long-term durability, and consistent performance.

Now available through Melett either individually or fitted to Melett turbochargers, HELLA actuators offer turbo repair specialists a complete, OE-quality solution that minimises downtime and maximises customer satisfaction.

Raising Standards Across the Industry

By combining HELLA’s OE-standard actuators with Melett’s trusted turbocharger components, this collaboration tackles one of the aftermarket’s biggest challenges: bridging the gap between mechanical and electronic expertise. The result is a reliable, high-performance solution that allows workshops to deliver superior repairs, reduce warranty claims, and avoid the inefficiency of “parts cannon” diagnostics.

For turbocharger professionals, mechanics, and vehicle owners, the message is clear: quality matters. And with Melett and HELLA, you’re choosing a future built on performance, reliability, and trust.
