Since its establishment in 1939, the name WIX Filters® has been synonymous with a strong tradition of excellence. This brand opened its door to business in an old cotton mill in Gastonia to provide its customers with premium-quality filters that exceed their performance demands. Within 15 years since it was founded, WIX Filters have revolutionized the automotive filtration system by introducing and patenting the spin-on oil filter design called “twist of the wrist,” which quickly became the industry standard. The eight decades of growth and innovation made WIX Filters a global leader in filtration, with over 12,000 unique product numbers covering a wide range of fuel, oil, air, coolant, cabin air, and transmission filters for domestic and foreign vehicles and industrial applications and more than 8,000 part numbers for fluid power systems and hydraulic applications.
