Meet a gal that works in the Lake Mills, Iowa oil filter plant owned by Cummins-Fleetguard.
She say they make lots of other brand and sees Frams go thru everyday. She says all the hole plates on the filters are done as requested by the brand, so we can't guess the factory by the plate. And business is very slow the last year. My guess is most of these companies are going to Asia but continue to use US plants for quick turnaround and special situations.
If this theory is correct we could buy a brand in five differnt stock numbers and all made by different manufactuers and quality.
Tell me if you think this theory could be valid
