= Premium Guard Inc = Founded in 1996, Premium Guard Inc. (PGI) specializes in oil, air, cabin, fuel, and transmission filters in the aftermarket automotive filtration industry. PGI has expanded its offerings to include heavy-duty, power sports, and specialty automotive applications, delivering a comprehensive service solution.

History and Expansion
Established in New York City, Premium Guard Inc.’s focus from the start has been on providing a turnkey solution with wide application coverage and private label programs for all segments of the North American automotive aftermarket.

PGI was initially established as International Distributors USA Inc., but in 2017, the company officially changed its name to Premium Guard Inc. (PGI). The new company name was derived from the company’s Premium Guard brand of automotive filters and supplies.

In 2021, Premium Guard Inc. launched its first direct-to-consumer brand, PUREFLOW®, which focuses solely on breathable air at home and in your car. PUREFLOW's line of filtration products, such as automotive cabin air filters and home air filters, are engineered to capture airborne contaminants and allergens. In 2022, PUREFLOW® launched a patented air freshener for cars designed to fit onto a cabin air filter.

In 2020, PGI acquired Tenneco's filters business, including its manufacturing facility in Tultitlan, Mexico, and the Interfil and Engine Clean brands. In 2022, PGI also acquired IPC Global Solutions (IPC), a supplier to the aftermarket's fast lube segment and the creator of the ECOGARD® brand of filtration products.
