I've spent time as a vendor in both the Wix plant in Gastonia and the Purolator filter plant in Fayetteville. Running a 300 ton press stamping out endcaps all day is tough, you do not want to show up hung over, or you could work the paint line and sniff fumes. Before they were both consumed by Mann+Hummel, each location told me certain sku's are sourced from other vendors. In other words, they do not make all their branded products.It is, and has been since 1939 in Gastonia, N.C. Wix has 11 plants globally.

Good Morning Jimmy_Russels,
A superb video, thank you for sharing it. The process engineering is this plant is excellent. A good blend of automation partnered with people for the tasks requiring greater dexterity. The laser checks for the presence of components is excellent. I'm not familiar with the Big Star brand but would consider them after watching this.
The only thing I didn't see was how the filter element was attached to the end caps. Were they glued?
Thanks again!
