Donaldson to Begin Construction of New Air Filter Production Plant in Mexico

Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), announced today that construction will begin on another manufacturing facility in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

This new 140,000 square foot facility will manufacture air filters for the Company’s growing markets in the Americas. Donaldson’s existing plant in Aguascalientes, which currently manufactures both air and liquid filters, will specialize in liquid filters upon the completion of this new air filter plant.

“We are very pleased to add this new facility to our existing manufacturing and distribution base in Aguascalientes and have appreciated the ongoing wonderful support of the local Aguascalientes officials and our employees,” said Joe Lehman, Vice President of Global Operations. “The ongoing economic recovery, plus our market share gains, has driven our replacement filter sales to record levels over the past year. Based on our Strategic Growth Plan, this new plant will allow us to expand both our air and liquid filter manufacturing capacity to meet our projected OEM and Aftermarket Customer demand throughout the Americas.”
