Of the more than 360 new parts Wix Filters has introduced in the first quarter of 2012, more than 84% serve the hydraulic industry, including 24 heavy-duty, 33 light-duty and 304 hydraulic filter applications. The company said it also is on track to release more than 1,000 new parts by the end of 2012.
“Our hydraulic line now has more than 8,750 filters,” said Donald Chilton, North American product development manager. “The Wix Filters product line is constantly expanding because our growth in hydraulic applications is due to customer demand.”
