UFI Filters has recently appointed Autoparts Express, as its distributor for the full range of UFI car and commercial filters in Ireland.

Established in Verona, Italy in 1972, UFI currently employs over 2,200 people in 12 locations worldwide, and supplies 41 of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers with UFI products, which are fitted at original equipment level.

Cutting-edge technological solutions, an intensive Research & Development programme, and a customer satisfaction policy transformed the company into an international group spread across five different continents.
   
Motor racing, and in particular Formula 1, are important testing grounds for UFI Filters. The company has been an official supplier to the Ferrari Formula 1 racing team for 26 consecutive seasons and expect to be an official supplier to every Formula 1 racing team in 2009. They were also suppliers of the latest filter media to the winning Audi team in the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hour race.

Commenting on this new addition to its product portfolio, Michael O’Toole, MD at Autopart Express said: “We are delighted to now offer such a strong filter programme, in both quality and range, with many new part numbers already now in stock for the latest models where UFI is original equipment. UFI will fit in well with our existing range of quality OE products, which include Boge, Eyquem, Hepu, Lemforder, Sachs, SNR and Trico.”
