Message	Instead K&N sells their quality products to China and doesn't manufacture them there. We love the chinese crap products (or some do) and in return they love our high quality goodness. Another active member in the Chinese specialty market is K&N Engineering, a manufacturer of performance high-flow air filters. K&N started pursuing the Chinese market in 2002. International Account Manager Cynthia Wert told SEMA that K&N started expanding its sales to China by attending several automotive tradeshows. Since January 2008, K&N has successfully established five points of distribution in China via Taiwan and Hong Kong distributors. In April of 2009, K&N obtained a new distributor in Shenzhen. To better service its distributors in China, K&N has established a modified version of its website in Chinese [ www.knairfilters.cn. ] According to Wert, the K&N Apollo universal cold-air intake kit has received rapid growth since it was launched in March 2007. “The China market is very keen on made in the USA products at a very competitive price,” Wert commented. -SEMA.org
