As a result, Donaldson has combined its Industrial Hydraulic and Bulk Fuel businesses 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 reorganisation 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.” The filtration company says that it has also committed considerable corporate technology resources to the development of media, modeling and testing. Donaldson manufactures engine lube and fuel products, as well as, low, medium and high pressure hydraulic filtration products and accessories for original equipment manufacturing and aftermarket customers under the Duramax, Triboguard, Twist&Drain, TRAP and Donaldson brands.
