Wix is now owned by Mann + Hummel. Wix is not the company it used to be before the take-over. Stuff is getting offshored to cut costs and boost profits. Not
everything...yet.
Purolator is
also owned by Mann + Hummel. I have no idea how much production capacity or techniques they share. Maybe they're the same filter with different packaging and different paint...or maybe there's a real difference between them.
