Re: [AMC-List] oil filters

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

Which offshore company would that be?

Fram is currently a unit of Honeywell, Inc, which merged with 
AlliedSignal at the end of 1999.  Honeywell is an old line American 
company with global operations, with its headquarters in Morris 
Township, NJ.  The Fram unit is based in Danbury, CT, along with the 
Prestone brand, which AlliedSignal acquired from Union Carbide in 
1985.
