I used to work for a place that was a wix distributer,then we got bought out by a company that was a baldwin distributer both good filters.
When talking to the company reps. I learned that on some filters, mainly small sales volume items it is standard practice to buy these off of another manufacture and have your label put on.
So you really never know which ones are made by whom. Also in the process of switching my own personal filters over to Baldwin numbers and looking at the filters on a certain number of engine oil filter it had metal shavings in it where the threads were cut.Needless to say that shut me down from knowingly buying baldwin filters. Probabaly an isolated inceident and it my have been one of those outsourced numbers and I did show them to the rep. but I can't help not likeing what I saw.
