Purolator Filters, a division of MANN+HUMMEL, announced that the company will be kicking off its 100-year anniversary celebration at this year’s Automotive Aftermarket Product Expo (AAPEX). 

In 2023, Purolator will be commemorating 100 years of “Purifying Your World.” In 1923, Ernest Sweetland developed and patented the first oil-filtration system, calling it the “Purolator,” short for the words “pure oil later.” As years went on, the company continued to evolve, manufacture and distribute filters, such as air, cabin air and fuel filters for the automotive industry. 

The global filtration company MANN+HUMMEL acquired Purolator Filters in 2012. Today, Purolator has more than 2,000 filtration part numbers for automotive, light-truck and heavy-duty applications, and continues to work on product innovation and design.

“The company maintains and extends its position as a leader in the filtration market by producing top-quality products, offering first-class service and revolutionizing the future of filtration technology,” the company said in a news release. 

Most recently, Purolator has maintained these assurances with the creation of PurolatorBOSSpremium cabin air filters with Febreze Freshness. With a focus on filtering out virus aerosols, this product also blocks and controls odors, while preventing 99% of fine particles from entering a vehicle’s cabin, according to the company.  

“Purolator’s goal to strive for quality and innovative products began in 1923, and still continues nearly a century later,” said Daryl Benton, vice president of sales and marketing for the automotive aftermarket with MANN+HUMMEL. “We are thrilled to celebrate our 100-year milestone in 2023. Purolator has been able to maintain its role as a market leader with leading-edge technology and global manufacturing best practices. Through continued hard work and diligence, Purolator will thrive for another 100 years.”

After a century of innovation, the celebration will kick off at AAPEX booth A1843. AAPEX is scheduled for Nov. 1-3 in Las Vegas.

      Road to AAPEX S3, Ep10: Getting Our Bearings
      By Counterman
      This episode of the Road to AAPEX takes us to Grand Rapids, Mich., for a trip to Auto-Wares, where host Joe Keene learns about the company’s history, operations and distribution of auto parts. Auto-Wares works closely with manufacturers like BCA Bearings, a division of NTN, to ensure high-quality OE replacement parts are delivered to where they’re needed most.
      That leads us to our next stop—NTN’s Mt. Prospect, Ill., location. There, we take a close look at the company’s focus on manufacturing high-quality products. NTN also discusses the importance of AAPEX as a platform to showcase new products and to connect with customers. Then, it’s back to Michigan, and Tamrox Automotive in Jackson, Mich., for an NTN wheel bearing replacement. Watch the video for a demonstration of the process and for insights on customer service and technician retention.

      The Automotive Business Boost at AAPEX 2024
      By Counterman
      The automotive aftermarket’s premiere event, AAPEX 2024, is now just a matter of weeks away. As Carm Capriotto explains in the latest edition of AAPEX Insights, the event is not just an opportunity to explore new products, but a chance to significantly enhance your business.
      In this installment, Capriotto details the benefits of attending AAPEX. He recalls one shop owner’s enthusiasm as he discovered new products and networked with suppliers. This kind of interaction—seeing, touching and asking questions about new tools—provides a level of insight that online research simply cannot match.
      Capriotto discusses AAPEX with Matt Fanslow, manager at Riverside Automotive in Red Wing, MN, and host of the “Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z” podcast. They note a growing trend among shops that attend AAPEX: They return with renewed energy and knowledge that can directly boost their revenue. Any temporary disruption caused by closing a shop for a few days to attend AAPEX is outweighed by the increased efficiency and innovation that follows.
      Fanslow compares the AAPEX experience to a trip to Disney World—expensive but worth the investment. Just as people plan and sacrifice to make a memorable trip happen, investing in AAPEX can significantly improve your shop’s operations and team capabilities. The exposure to new technologies and networking opportunities can invigorate your business and motivate your team.
      The knowledge gained, the relationships built, and the new tools and techniques discovered at AAPEX can lead to substantial long-term benefits. This year’s show runs from November 5-7 in Las Vegas. You can register at
