Origins
The business behind MONTTRON started in 1995 with the design, development and distribution of parts for the modern vehicle. Three decades later that experience covers European and Japanese vehicle platforms.
MONTTRON is the brand of the group dedicated to the engine itself: the parts that seal it, turn its combustion into rotation, keep its valves in time with its pistons, and circulate its oil and coolant.

What engine parts are built for
The engine turns fuel into motion under heat and pressure, and every part around the combustion chamber has one job in that. These are the jobs MONTTRON makes its parts for, and where each one matters.
| Property | Where it matters |
|---|---|
| Sealing the combustion chamber | Cylinder heads and gaskets: the head carries the valves and the combustion chambers, and the gasket between head and block keeps compression, oil and coolant apart |
| Sealing oil in and dirt out | Valve covers and oil pans: the covers at the top and the bottom of the engine that hold the oil in and keep the valvetrain and the sump clean |
| Feeding the cylinders | Intake manifolds: the runners that carry the air, or the air and fuel, to each cylinder in equal measure |
| Turning combustion into rotation | Crankshafts: the shaft that takes the push of every piston through the connecting rods and turns it into the rotation that drives the wheels, the timing chain and the belts |
| Controlling the valves | Camshafts, VVT camshaft adjusters, engine valves, tappets and rocker arms: the parts that open and close the valves at the right moment and by the right amount |
| Keeping the engine in time | Timing chain kits and tensioner bearings: the drive from the crankshaft to the camshafts, and the tensioners and pulleys that keep the chain and the belts at the right tension |
| Circulating oil, coolant and vacuum | Oil pumps, water pumps, additional water pumps and vacuum pumps: the pumps that lubricate the engine, carry its heat away and supply the brake servo and the actuators |
| Quality and testing | OEM-compliant quality and aftermarket spare parts, made to the dimensions, the seats and the connections of the original part and tested for durability and temperature resistance |
| Coverage | European and Japanese passenger cars, each reference identified by the OE number of the original part |
