WIX® Filters Marks 75th Anniversary

WIX® Filters, a global manufacturer of filtration products, has marked its 75th anniversary.

The company celebrated with a Founder’s Day event highlighted by a $7,500 donation to Gaston County Schools, North Carolina, as a kick-off to the system’s annual school supply drive.

“This is a momentous day and milestone in WIX’s remarkable history,” said Keith Wilson, Affinia Group president and CEO. “For the past 75 years, this business has fostered a tradition of growth, innovation and excellence.”

What began with three employees, two screwdrivers, a pair of pliers and a typewriter in 1939 has evolved and innovated into a global company that manufactures more than 210 million filters annually for customers in over 80 countries.

WIX today employs over 4,500 people worldwide, including 1,500 in the Gastonia area.
