Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), a global leader in engine
filtration, announced today that it has acquired 100 percent of the
shares of Engineered Products Company, a leading designer and
manufacturer of indicators, gauges, switches and sensors for engine air
filtration and liquid filtration systems.
Founded in 1977 and based in Waterloo, Iowa, Engineered Products
generates annual sales of approximately $9 million through its
well-known Filter Minder® brand. Filter Minder®
products connect to air and fuel filtration systems to measure, indicate
and predict remaining filter life.
"The acquisition of Engineered Products supports our strategy of
technical leadership in filtration products for both our OEM Customers
and their end users of our filters," said Tom Scalf, Donaldson's Senior
Vice President for Engine Products. "We see an increasing need for
measuring and monitoring filter life in diesel powered equipment, and
communicating filter status information visually, electronically and
remotely as vehicles become increasingly connected with fleet management
systems. The information from Filter Minder® products helps
equipment operators maximize the performance and uptime of their
equipment, and plan their filter changes."
Miscellaneous
Donaldson has completed the acquisition, and the revenue from Engineered
Products will be reported in Donaldson's Engine Products Segment. For
