FRAM Filters
Our story

FRAM is a leading global filtration brand, available across 174 countries, and is the number one selling brand in North America; currently the largest automotive aftermarket in the world.

Founded in 1932, in a laboratory in Providence, Rhode Island, chemists Frederick Franklin and T. Edward Aldham invented an easily replaceable oil filtering element, and by 1934, production was, on average, at 10 filters per working day. The FRAM name is coined from the first two letters of Franklin and the last two letters of Aldham.
