Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), is pleased to announce the
construction of a new filter manufacturing plant in Skarbimierz, Poland
to serve the filtration needs of its European and Russian Customers. The
new plant will be 108,000 square feet (10,000 square meters) with
additional capacity for future expansion.
The facility will be dedicated to the production of heavy duty air
filters for both the on-road and off-road equipment markets. This new
Polish plant, expected to open in CY15, represents Donaldson's third
manufacturing presence in Central and Eastern Europe. Donaldson's very
successful Czech Republic operations were started in Klášterec in 2003
followed by Kadaň in 2006.
"We are very pleased to add this new, state-of-the-art facility to our
extensive manufacturing and distribution base in Europe and have
appreciated the ongoing support of the Polish government and local
Skarbimierz officials," said Wim Vermeersch, Vice President, Europe,
Middle East and Northern Africa. "Based on our Company's Strategic
Growth Plan, this new plant will allow us to further increase our filter
manufacturing capacity to meet our projected OEM and Aftermarket
Customer demand throughout Europe and Russia."
