Baldwin Filters Is Professional Transportation Partners Filter Supplier of the Year
Baldwin Filters was named the 2011 Filter Supplier of the Year by Professional Transportation Partners (PTP) in early April. This is the second consecutive year Baldwin has received the honor.
The award was announced at PTP's annual Shop Network Meeting in Fort Worth, Texas. Professional Transportation Partners, a large truck stop shop organization with 60 member locations across America, has been affiliated with Baldwin Filters for many years.
Baldwin was selected as Filter Supplier of the Year for many reasons, including in-house customer service, order fill rate, response time and district manager customer support.
"This award is based on total customer support, which Baldwin offers to our distributors and to our end users. We are dedicated to supporting our customers in the same way they treat theirs," said Gary Kauffman, Baldwin National Accounts Manager.
"You don't get customers, you earn them. Baldwin has done this with this group and continues to look at better and more ways to offer total customer service to all our customers," Kauffman continued.

Baldwin Filters announces that its 2012 Automotive Applications catalog (Form 123-12) is now available in print and online. This
760-page comprehensive catalog contains applications for domestic and foreign automobiles, motorcycles and light-duty trucks.
The main section of the catalog contains applications from 1980 to the present. Applications for automobiles built prior to 1980 follow in its own section, where users can search by make and model.
