LuK--“Lamellen und Kupplungsbau”, or in English 'disc and clutch makers' is indeed a multinational with an extensive history. Assembly plants all over the world, and making clutches in Germany, USA, Hungary, Mexico and God knows where else. I have used them in many vehicles and never experienced a problem. They are one of the 3 largest OE driveline mfgs., as well as a dominant aftermarket supplier.
Anything clearly labeled LuK will be first quality, with my personal preference (prejudice??) USA or German built. Many aftermarket brands may say built by LuK..but leave out important details like exactly who supplied the specs the part was built to. LuK, like most mfgs., build multiple lines of product for customers based on price-point, with the customer deciding the specs.
