No, Wix filters are an American company headquartered in Gastonia, NC (with additional plants all over the world), that produce filters for a lot of other "house" name brands, as well as their own. They developed and patented the spin on design filter in 1954. Their own "premium" line is the Wix/NAPA Gold sold through the NAPA chain of stores, but also available online from vendors such as FleetFilter. Very well made unit with an excellent filter media:
