American owned filter companies

[Pinoak]

I thought fram was American owned but a little research online led me to learn it's not.
I'm wondering if champion labs is the only truly American owned automotive filter company left?
Wix and Purolator are not anymore.

Donaldson?

You can read the news release of when UCI/Champ Labs emerged from bankruptcy protection. How about Baldwin/Clarcor now part of Parker Hannifin?

Clarcor is now owned by Parker. This would include Baldwin and Hastings.

I found three links to Purolator as well.

Clarcor brands

Champion Labs is American owned. Exxon-Mobil is American owned. Amsoil is American. Warren is American. Valvoline is American.

Shell is not American.

The choice is yours.

I think most of their filters come from Champ labs or Donaldson, except for this Chinese one:

I have had great success over the years with Champ Labs filters. I tend to lean more towards Baldwin/Hastings a lot lately.

Close. Suntory holdings of Japan.

Both Parker and Baldwin have been in the US for many decades … and are global suppliers to various industries …
Have found a Baldwin oil filter with 20 psi PRV and will try a couple on my L83's next …

Yes how could I forget those? I guess I was thinking about fiters easily accessible to me. I don't know where to buy either Baldwin or Hastings but we use the on the diesel engines at work often. They order them by bulk. fuel and oil filters as well as bypass

Baldwin/Hastings may be ordered through Zoro (Grainger) on their website or their ebay store. You know you are getting stock from Baldwin, no monkey business from resellers of surplus stock.

I've used Napa Gold (Wix) filters forever and since Wix sold out to Mann+Hummel, I've been looking for what else is out there. Baldwin and Hastings and Donaldson three really good options with Baldwin and Hastings both being owned by Parker now. I've bought a bunch of Baldwin filters just on Amazon, but I've also used: baldwinfiltersus.com with good results.

Nice thanks for the link

So, just to make sure, would buying Motorcraft, Donaldson, and M1 oil filters be buying US company filters? Would prefer filters made in USA, and owned by US companies.

If you want high quality filters Royal Purple and Amsoil filters are from American companies made in the US (for most of their line)
