Absolutely. Like I said, we've been around since 1939. We started out just taking the waste out of the cotton mills, and that's what became what we call a filter media in the early versions. just to kind of strip off the junk and whatnot that was in the oil.

And as things have progressed, we've started making different things over the years, whether it's passenger car filters or heavy truck or off-road or whatever the case is. So there's a whole litany of things that have evolved and changed over the years. And the quality of the products has always been, you know, top of the shelf when it comes to our designs and our production.

That's a great question. Corey, the big thing about filters is usually the things that matter you can't see or you can't understand because It's the media, the pleated, you know, as you see the zigzags in the filter. If you have it in front of you where you can see it, some of them are in a can. Obviously, you can't see that. But the media is really the magic of the filter.

Obviously, you've got to have seal gaskets and all those kind of things that matter. But the media is what does all the work. So it captures the contaminant. It gives you the amount of efficiency that you need. And it also allows you to have the right pressure drop over the high pressure side of the pump to the low pressure.

So what that is, it's a good way to say there's a lot of science and engineering that goes into what that media is. And so just because they may look exactly the same, but one costs a little bit more than the other, there's probably a reason for it.

Sure. Yeah. We have a huge laboratory here in headquarters. Um, and there is all kinds of tests we do from what are the particle sizes that go upstream versus downstream and multi-pass testing. We look at how much contaminant it holds.

We do all kinds of things like burst tests, salt spray tests, uh, you know, if someone's going to be on a piece of equipment for many years, uh, you know, is there going to be a rust inhibitor that, that can, you know, keep that from happening? Um, you know, we do look at things like, um,

impulse fatigue so how many times that engine cycles all in all all in all can that particular product stand up to it will it collapse under you know any kind of you know extreme environment there's just a huge amount of testing that our engineers do each and every day so going back to the media side you mentioned you started in the cotton country are you guys still using a cotton media No, no.
