HISTORY FROM THE USA
In the late 1930s, in North Carolina, Jack Wicks and Paul Crawshaw began making car filters. Soon they changed the entire industry. In 1954, they patented the "twist of the wrist" thread filter, which quickly became a standard in the automotive sector. Since then, subsequent WIX Filters solutions have proven to be successful in the filter industry.
Today, WIX Filters range includes over 16,000 separate automotive products. Our products are designed for passenger cars, trucks, buses and heavy machines and equipment. The WIX-Filters portfolio includes fuel, oil, air and cabin air filters, as well as air dryers, coolant, hydraulic oil and urea filters, all these promoted further with a host supplementary products. We have a huge selection of filters for heavy and industrial machinery, used, e.g., in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Our passion for sport and our need for constantly testing technologies led us to race tracks half a century ago. WIX Filters are installed in racing cars as a reliable solution in the toughest of conditions. In motor sport, the best drivers finish first, thanks to WIX filters.
For 85 years, WIX Filters has been among the elite filter manufacturers. We are present in 80 markets today and our filters are produced in 10 countries over 5 continents.
We do everything to guarantee high quality of each new product and of the entire WIX Filters range.
