Mann already owns Purolator, so what do they have to gain from owning Wix, too? Too much consolidation.

Access to tear free filters?

A fair point. Considering Mann and Hummel has been half owner of Purolator US since 06 and full owner since first quarter of 2013, time will tell.

If it's like hand tools, they start selling filters at a nickel each. Two years later all the USA filter companies are gone or not making anything in the USA. Then the 5 cent filter goes to $9 and everything on the shelf is made in China so you take it home grumbling to yourself.
I don't understand why Clacor (NYSE: CLC) would've let such a good U.S based asset go to the Germans. The filter business is a great long term business. Warren Buffet should've stepped up and added Wix brand to their staple of great brands. Wix is definitely one of the top filter brands in the world, and has great long term growth potential. I'm disappointed how great American Brands keep being bought out by foreign firms.

Not good news seeing as the direction Purolator has gone under their ownership.
what direction is that? Purolator is doing just fine and there products are still as good as they have always been. If you look outside of this little forum, there are still plenty of people using Purolator products and the parts that they are contracted to manufacture.
If you are referring to their customer service departments response or lack thereof to the emails of BITOG members, that is just the way their public relations department has chosen to respond to the continued hate mail that some here repetitively send.
What would you do as a company if a small segment of your customer base sent you derogatory and accusatory letters about your product, that could not be substantiated in fact?
They said they would look into it, but certain people here just continued to do nothing short of continually berate them. So instead of responding in the same manner that they were approached, they just appear to have stopped responding to this "hate mail".
I still can't think of any negative direction that Purolator has taken after being acquired by MH.
Oh and btw, guess who makes the motocraft filters your truck uses

And people on here will be cheering over it, while griping about their unemployed neighbors.

Yeah, all the unsuspecting people who don't even know what's inside an oil filter. According to some members here, the word has now spread way beyond BITOG.

Sounds like you're tired of getting that hate mail at work. LoL

Im sure it has spread as to as many other forums those here happen to also frequent. Pretty [censored] evidence. Probably put them out of business. And speaking of work, oil filters don't come up much in emergency medicine, so you can stop accusing me of working for Purolator. It is just hijacking threads and wasting the time of those who came to this site looking for answers.

I don't hijack threads.
I am not a shill.
I only accuse people of being shills if I believe they intimidate, shame or belittle those who don't use a particular brand for compensation in the form of free filters of kick backs. There are only a few who fall under this criteria. I don't just blindly accuse everyone who disagrees with me. That is ludicrous.

Yep, you're right. You put down lots of filters (particularly a certain brand), and boast up others (particularly a certain brand that shouldn't really be boasted about) all the time ... you do shillary well, and you don't even realize it. But as usual, carry on.
