Serfac offers comprehensive filtration range

An expert in filtration for over 30 years, leading distributor Serfac Limited offers complete filter coverage from leading filtration brands Knecht and UFI plus Asian specialist Blue Print.

Distributed in Ireland by Serfac since the early 1990s, Knecht is part of the Mahle brand family and has a global reputation for superb quality.

All the company’s products are quality certified and are subject to multi-stage quality control. Knecht Filters are at the leading edge of filter manufacturing technology and makes the brand the choice of the world’s most prestigious manufacturers.

Knecht offers a comprehensive range of oil and fuel filters for passenger cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles and continuously expands its range with innovative, high quality products, including eco filters that can be completely incinerated, all of which are produced to original equipment quality.

Mahle places particular value on the fact that new trade products are brought onto the market as close as possible to the start of the vehicle’s production and, in most cases, before the first service interval. Accordingly, the “time to market”, i.e. the period of time required from product development to market launch, is given a high priority.

A recent addition to the Serfac brand range is leading Italian filter brand UFI. One of the world’s leaders in filtration with 16 industrial sites, three innovation centres and 54 commercial offices around the world, UFI was founded in Italy in 1971. UFI is a leading OE filtration provider and 95 per cent of vehicle manufacturers worldwide choose UFI Filters which cover over 60,000 applications.

UFI supplies a full range of oil and fuel filters to the automotive sector, meeting the needs of nearly all car brands and motorcycles as well as commercial, heavy duty and agricultural vehicles.

UFI filters are chosen by six out of seven of the largest automobile manufacturers and by seven out of 10 F1 teams. UFI employs 120 specialised technicians in its innovation and research centres and holds 167 patents. As a research-driven company, it says it reinvests over five per cent of its revenues in research and development.

Serfac also stocks an extensive range of oil and fuel filters from Blue Print which boasts over 2,300 references in its filtration portfolio, all of which are manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure optimum performance. The portfolio is continually reviewed and researched for gaps in the market and new parts are added so customers have easy access to the replacement filters they need.

Covering European vehicles as well as Asian and American marques, Blue Print’s percentage coverage of the market is still growing and is in excess of 90 per cent of the vehicle parc, with over 100,000 applications in range, including almost 300 oil filters with over 32,000 applications and more than 450 fuel filters with over 27,000 applications.

All Blue Print filters undergo rigorous testing to ensure first class quality and the weights of all Blue Print filters are checked against the manufacturers’ specifications to ensure first time fitment every time.
