The new filters include 115 premium light-duty filters, 165 premium heavy-duty filters and 31 opening price point filters.

“WIX continues to be on a record pace for product releases in 2009, with a broad emphasis on premium filters for light-duty foreign nameplate brands and heavy-duty applications,” said Patrick Enniss, product development manager for WIX Filters, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2009. “Our engineers and product developers have been working tirelessly to develop and put into production more than one new filter every day this year.”

The development of new premium heavy-duty filters is always a focus of WIX Filters’ product expansion plans. The 165 new premium heavy-duty filters released by WIX so far in 2009 include oil, air, cabin air, fuel, and hydraulic filters for Caterpillar, Cummins, John Deere, Komatsu, Mack and New Holland, among other brands.
