LAS VEGAS – MANN+HUMMEL affirmed its leadership in the global filtration market at the MANN-FILTER vehicle filtration products by presenting a full range of advanced Purolator and MANN-FILTER vehicle filtration products at the 2015 AAPEX Show in Las Vegas.
This week, MANN+HUMMEL will showcase major initiatives to refresh the Purolator brand and reflect the company’s renewed quest for innovation and a commitment to delivering advanced solutions for rapidly changing engine and oil technologies. MANN+HUMMEL introduced an array of new Purolator products for retail – led by PurolatorBOSS, a ground-breaking new oil filter that provides maximum engine protection – as well as an exclusive, industry-first packaging design; bold, modern branding; and a renewed promise: “Nothing Gets By Us.”
At AAPEX, MANN+HUMMEL also unveiled a wide array of MANN-FILTER products, including the new MANN-FILTER FreciousPlus line of advanced cabin air filters with innovative technologies that trap and bind allergens, preventing the growth of bacteria, molds and fungi.
“Led by the continued vitality of our sales in the U.S. and North America, the global filtration market is expected to grow at an average rate above 6 percent through 2023,” said Manfred Wolf, president and general manager of MANN+HUMMEL’s automotive and industrial business units. “Our continued filtration leadership will be fueled by nurturing a culture of innovation and continuous improvement here in North America, reflected by our ongoing investments in world-class manufacturing operations, advanced engineering capabilities, and our North Carolina Innovation Center.”
