Guest Peter James Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Sad to see that Crosland Filters, a reputable Nottingham Company founded in 1955, has closed. Euro Car Parts has bought the brand only for their exclusive use, and advertises it as 'providing clear filtration since 1955' http://www.croslandfilters.com/ I don't know whose filters they are putting in crosland boxes, and whether they are any good?

Derek Uzzell Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I’m not sure how recently this happened. There’s a related comment in the 20-10-2014, 20:35 posting on this link http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/f17/crosland-bosch-mann-filters-t254873/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's the global market, manufacturers can set a specification, put out tenders and buy in the cheapest bid. China and the developing countries have a huge advantage over countries like the UK for basic items, and increasingly sophisticated ones. The iPad I'm using was "designed in California" but built in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 'Proud Heritage' ... 'Since 1955' ...on the website is misleading since I can see no real connection with Tony Crosland or his products. Crosland were a Great British Company. But I know nothing about the products being sold under that brand name now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Well, you learn something every day, I have been diligently using Crosland filters, under the misguided premise that they were still the same Company that made 'quality' filters for years and years. No fool like an old fool. what is the World coming to ? You'll be telling me next that a bar of Cadbury chocolate doesn't contain a glass and a half of full cream milk !

Guest Peter James Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Well Kraft, current owners of Cadbury, are a far cry from the Cadbury Brothers who built the lovely village of Bourneville. But at least they are still in the same factory there. I can't see any connection between Crosland and ECP who bought the Crosland brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
