Purolator Filters
Purolator Filters (Purolator Filters LLC) is a manufacturer of oil and air filters based in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
The company was founded in 1923 as Motor Improvements, Incorporated in New York City and later took on the Purolator name as a short form of their filtration process called pure oil later.[1]
The company acquired Canadian courier Trans Canada Couriers, Limited in 1967, which later became Purolator Inc..[2] The Canadian courier company and parent parted ways in 1987 when the former was sold and now owned mainly (91%) by Canada Post Corporation.
Is this the same company?[3] Did the Mann+Hummel takeover complete?
