Barnes and their Japanese affiliate, Mosnic Corporation of Tokyo, Japan together have supplied coolant filtration systems for Nissan North America's new V-8 engine manufacturing facility in Tennessee. These systems will filter aluminum and cast iron material from the coolant used in machining of cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and crankshafts.

Barnes has had a relationship with Mosnic for more than 20 years and has teamed with them to building large central systems for Toyoda Motor Manufacturing in Kentucky and Delphi Automotive Systems near Paris, France.
