Donaldson Co. announced it is making organizational changes and capital investments to accelerate growth in its liquid filtration product lines.


This strategic initiative is focused on gaining global market share in the lube, fuel, and hydraulic markets. Effective immediately, the company's Industrial Hydraulic and Bulk Fuel businesses have now been combined with its Engine counterparts.

"Combining our hydraulic filtration businesses under one umbrella provides collective technical expertise and a substantial sales network across the globe," said Jay Ward, Donaldson's Senior Vice President, Engine Products. "This reorganization - linked with global investments in production, labs and people - is a key step toward our objective of leading the world in diesel engine and hydraulic fluid filtration."

"In addition to these investments, Donaldson has committed considerable corporate technology resources to the development of media, modeling, and testing," said Ward.
