You may have already heard about it: the magazine ‘Passion for Parts’ from Wilmink Engine Parts. A one-time edition to celebrate in an original way that we have now existed for more than 125 years. The story of a Groningen family business, from a 19th-century shipyard to an internationally valued specialist in engine parts. We asked ourselves: how do you squeeze 1 million quality products from 250 top brands onto 74 pages? It is also fascinating to read, from A to Z, with the letters OE in the lead. We didn't even try. Thankfully. It became an unadulterated ode to craftsmanship, which we encounter again and again in our work. In the people who use "our" parts and in the people who make them with great dedication. Often true enthusiasts, just like us.

A behind-the-scenes look

Don't expect a magazine featuring only technology, although you will encounter it—from traditional craftsmanship to ingenious innovations. Examples? We take a look behind the scenes at a few overhaul specialists who tinker with engines with great patience and creativity, either in their own workshop or, for example, in a luxury marina. Of course, our sister company, MasterTurbo, will also be present at the ‘birthday party’ in the form of a magazine.

Among other things, we follow the efficient journey of a certain piston from the manufacturer in Germany to a commercial vehicle specialist somewhere in Europe. Where they work according to the motto: time is money, but quality comes first. We also take a look at shiny muscle cars, the tough tractors that can move mountains of work, and trouble-free long-life engines that keep entire industries running. Agreement: every detail counts. Read more about trucks, automotive, performance, the role of turbochargers, and the latest developments in safety, durability, convenience, and pure driving pleasure.

In between, you get a peek at what changed in the world during all those years, not just under the hood. The first cars for the masses changed society forever; for example, with the rise of the first suburbs in the US, Thanks to the car, you could suddenly live more spacious and greener, within driving distance of your job downtown or in the industrial park. 

A magazine that can easily go with you on vacation - so you don't have to abandon your weekday passion. You can also explain to your travel companions what makes your work so beautiful. With pictures! It will also not look out of place in the company cafeteria or on the coffee table for visitors. We wish you much reading pleasure - and perhaps between the lines, a surprising, new perspective on Wilmink Engine Parts.
