In 1958 Walter Hengst founded the company Ing.Walter Hengst KG in Münster. In 1977, the son-in-law Günter Röttgering joined the company as a later successor to Walter Hengst, during which the name was changed to Ing.Walter Hengst GmbH & Co. KG. After the introduction of the first cup oil filter with an automatic drainage system and plastic screw cap in 1988, the Berlin location, Hengst Filterwerke Berlin GmbH & Co. KG, was founded in 1990.
