KOHL Group to part ways with AC Schnitzer at the end of 2026

Today marks a significant moment for the AC Schnitzer brand and its global community. It has been announced that AC Schnitzer, in its current form, will cease trading at the end of 2026.

For decades, AC Schnitzer has stood for precision engineering, individuality, and performance. Its products have helped drivers enhance both styling and driving dynamics. This has built a loyal community of enthusiasts worldwide.

While this news signals the end of an era, it is important to reassure customers that continuity and support remain firmly in place. All warranties and existing commitments will continue to be fully honoured and managed by the KOHL Group. Customers can therefore move forward with complete confidence, knowing that the quality and backing associated with AC Schnitzer will be upheld.

This transition also creates a unique opportunity. As production winds down over the coming months, the availability of genuine AC Schnitzer products will naturally become more limited. For those who have been considering enhancements, upgrades, or bespoke additions to their vehicle, now is an ideal time to act. Securing authentic AC Schnitzer components while they remain available ensures not only performance and quality, but also a lasting connection to a truly iconic name in automotive tuning.

We would like to thank all customers, partners, and enthusiasts who have supported AC Schnitzer over the years. Your passion has been central to the brand’s journey, and that legacy will continue well beyond 2026.
