Premium Guard Inc. Recognized as a 2026 MOTOR Top 20 Awards Winner

Premium Guard Inc. (PGI), a leading filter manufacturer and supplier, today announced that its Febreze Cabin Air Filters have been named a winner of the 2026 MOTOR Top 20 Awards Competition, recognizing innovation and excellence in the automotive aftermarket. Febreze Cabin Air Filters combine PUREFLOW ® filtration technology with trusted odor-neutralizing performance to deliver a cleaner, fresher in-vehicle experience. While more than 250 million vehicles across North America have cabin air filters, consumer awareness and replacement rates remain low. PGI's Febreze Cabin Air Filters combine a trusted consumer brand with PUREFLOW ® multi-layer filtration technology to help capture airborne contaminants and neutralize unwanted odors—without adding fragrance or restricting airflow—for a cleaner, fresher driving experience. "It's an incredible honor to be recognized by MOTOR as a Top 20 Award winner for the second year in a row. This win is a testament to our continued commitment to advancing filtration technology," said Anan Bishara, CEO and Founder of Premium Guard Inc. "By combining PUREFLOW's advanced filtration capabilities with the trusted Febreze brand, we're making it easier for consumers to understand the important role cabin air filters play in their vehicles while delivering a meaningful improvement to the in-cabin experience." Available across e-commerce and retail channels, Febreze Cabin Air Filters combines the trusted Febreze brand with PUREFLOW's advanced cabin air filtration technology, making premium in-cabin filtration more accessible to drivers nationwide. The product helps raise awareness of cabin air quality and the importance of routine cabin air filter replacement, while creating new opportunities for retailers and service providers to drive category education and growth. The recognition marks PGI's second consecutive MOTOR Top 20 Award. In 2025, the company received the honor for ViAQ™, its patent-pending diagnostic technology designed to assess cabin air filter performance by analyzing air quality inside the vehicle. Through products such as Febreze Cabin Air Filters and ViAQ, PGI is helping elevate consumer expectations, encourage greater engagement with routine cabin air filter maintenance and drive continued innovation across the automotive aftermarket.
