The GFX name may be new to the Industry, but not the people, experience or the products. GFX was born in 2001 after Carfel was acquired by SPX Filtran. GFX Inc is owned by a very familiar name in the Industry- George Feldenkreis and Fanny Hanono.
George Feldenkreis founded Carfel in 1961 and was one of the industries giants in the manufacturing and distribution of foreign overhaul kits and transmission components. On February 7, 2001, Carfel was sold to SPX Filtran which was later sold again in September of 2006 to Parker Hannifin Corp.
Carfel Inc was not only known for their products, they were known for the their people. Carfel employed over 150 people in their Miami based headquarters. Some of the names today in the aftermarket industry are synonymous to Carfel Inc. Our industry has made many changes in the last six years, but the one thing that has not changed, is the vision that Mr. Feldenkreis has always had- To be a leader in the aftermarket industry!
We invite you to get to know us again.
George Feldenkreis
Owner and CEO
 |
Mr. Feldenkreis has been in the Transmission Aftermarket business since 1961. His vision was to build a company that would offer a wide variety of quality transmission parts. During a time where imports were rarely seen in the U.S., Mr. Feldenkreis envisioned an influx of Japanese vehicles coming into the states. With this vision, he aligned himself with many overseas manufacturers and suppliers in order to be able to offer a wide variety of aftermarket Japanese and OE parts for the transmission industry. This is where Carfel was born. Today Mr. Feldenkreis is still active in GFX. |
