Porsche found a second home for itself at its Leipzig location more than ten years ago. Since the ground-breaking ceremony in the year 2000 we have continued the development of the Porsche story here. Since that time a great deal has been constructed and produced in Leipzig: with three extensions to our works, for example, we have created the space required for the production of new Porsche models, cars such as the Cayenne, the Panamera and the Carrera GT – the super sports car which was produced up to 2006 in a limited edition of 1,270 vehicles. And the new Macan series will by no means be the end of the story. In fact it's only just the beginning.

Akrapovič is the market-leading manufacturer of premium exhaust systems for motorcycles and performance cars. It is a pioneer in the innovative use of titanium and super-alloys, and is at the forefront of carbon-fibre components. Akrapovič exhaust systems are renowned for increasing performance, unmistakable sound, innovative design, lightweight construction, quality workmanship, and durability. Founded in Slovenia in 1991 by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič, the brand has grown to international prominence. Through racing, which has led to winning major world championship titles and setting the highest design standards – leading to Akrapovič winning more Red Dot awards in the last years – Akrapovič is consistently at the forefront of exhaust technology. The technical ability and support Akrapovič provides to racing teams to give them the competitive edge follows the same heritage and knowhow that is transferred into road and off-road systems. Increased performance, improved throttle response, more power, and greater durability are all directly related to the research, development, and testing that every Akrapovič exhaust is subjected to in the racing arena, giving it a pedigree that few others can match. The company operates from state-of-the-art factories in Slovenia, where facilities include an on-site titanium foundry, metallurgical laboratories, and hi-tech production machinery. Akrapovič employs over 1,000 staff and distributes its products in more than 80 countries.
