1946-2026
January 2026, the 5th generation has joined the family business. What an amazing accomplishment!!


Melling Engine Parts is celebrating 80 years in the automotive industry in 2026, the company announced.

Founded in 1946 by George Melling Sr. and his son Ben Melling, the company began selling precision oil pumps for older vehicles and has since grown into a global brand offering thousands of aftermarket and performance engine parts across 27 product lines.

"We are beyond grateful to welcome in 2026 and the 80th year of Melling Engine Parts," said Mark Melling, President and CEO. "Eighty years of family-owned business is not just a testament to current Melling employees, but [also to] those that have gone before. I am extremely proud of the work our team has done to get us to 80 years of service, and we are looking forward to celebrating many more anniversaries to come. We are a family business, and with the fifth generation joining the business this year, we plan to continue the legacy for decades to come. Thank you to our vendors and customers [who] have made it possible for us to achieve such a meaningful milestone."

I don't think I was ever part of, or even witness to an engine rebuild that didn't involve a Melling oil pump.

I order 1000's of dollars from them almost daily. Great company to work with other than packaging. For some unknown reason no matter how many times we point out all of their perforated pre-made boxes all explode apart by the time we receive things from them, they won't improve how they package shipments in bulk.
