THE Auto Care Association is
delighted to welcome the Filter
Manufacturers Community as the
newest community of the association!
The community formally joined the
Auto Care Association on May 9 at
Spring Leadership Days in Atlanta.
Formerly the Filter Manufacturers
Council, the Filter Manufacturers
Community represents manufacturers
of vehicular filtration products. The
community monitors regulatory
and technological developments
that affect the industry, supports
members through catalog committees
and provides consumers with
technical filter information.
The addition of FMC to the
Auto Care Association provides
the opportunity for current Auto
Care Association members to
collaborate with filtration businesses
and experts, translating to more
and better access for association
members, such as distributors and
retailers, to filter-related data, catalog
data and market intelligence.
New Auto Care Association
members can join FMC through the
membership application on autocare.
org. Current members can join FMC by
emailing membership@autocare.org.

"We are delighted the Filter
Manufacturers Community
has made a home with us.
FMC and the association
are a perfect fit because
together, we are integrating
valuable knowledge and
data from the filtration sector
to increase supply chain
efficiency within the industry."
- Bill Hanvey, President and
CEO, Auto Care Association

Joining FMC gives community
members access to the full suite of
Auto Care Association membership
benefits, including cataloging data
standards, networking opportunities
through events such as Leadership
Days and AAPEX, advocacy and
market intelligence to help their
businesses make strategic decisions
within the changing landscape of
the automotive aftermarket.
