About Wix Filters

History

The history of WIX Filters consists of 70 years of continuous development of filtration solutions.

The company was established by Jack Wicks in North Carolina in the USA. WIX also made its unique contribution to the development of the entire filtration industry when in 1954 their engineers developed and patented the spin-on oil filter, which shortly became a worldwide standard in the filtration of lubricants.

Today WIX is a global corporation, which manufactures products in 15 manufacturing plants located in 4 continents. Every year, over 4000 employees manufacture 200 million filters, which protect vehicles all over the world.

WIX brand filters are available in over 100 countries and the characteristic logo of the company soon became the synonym of quality in the aftermarket.

 

Quality

As the task of the filter is to protect the engine, the quality is an issue of key importance. The best proof that WIX filters provide proper protection for your vehicle is the trust that almost every car manufacturer puts in us. Each OE contract is preceded not only with construction and design works but also with a series of tests carried out internally at the WIX-FILTRON laboratories in Poland and in the WIX Filtration laboratories in North Carolina in the USA as well as externally in independent laboratories.

In order to achieve and maintain top quality on a continuous basis, audits are carried out on a periodic basis by the car manufacturers and/or certifying bodies.

Car manufacturers do not compromise on quality issues. Only those suppliers, who apply state of the art technologies, can become key players in the OE market.

Because wix supply OE filters, aftermarket clients may be sure that by purchasing WIX branded products, they buy products manufactured using the same technology and materials as the original products.

It must also be mentioned here that the application of WIX products does not invalidate the new vehicle guarantee, as WIX parts are the original parts or the parts whose quality meets the OE quality in accordance with EU Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation (EU) 461/2010 (MVBER).

 

Automotive Original Equiptment

In the automotive industry, there is no better quality guarantee than the fact that components manufactured by a certain manufacturer are supplied as original equipment. In the industry-specific jargon, such supplies are called OE supplies, which is an abbreviation of Original Equipment.

WIX filters were for the first time installed in brand new cars leaving the production line in the middle of the 1950s in the USA. The client then was Ford Motor Company, and the company has been a client ever since.

Today WIX cooperates with almost every major car manufacturer.
