Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI), a leader in the global industrial
air filtration market through its Donaldson® Torit® business, announced
today that it has acquired a majority stake in IFIL.USA, LLC, a
manufacturer of pleated bag filters for industrial dust collection. The
agreement with IFIL USA is expected to contribute approximately $6
million to $8 million of revenue to Donaldson's fiscal 2016 results.
"IFIL USA is a great addition to Donaldson's industrial air filtration
business," said Tod Carpenter, Donaldson's President and CEO. "IFIL
USA's industry-leading technology gives Customers significant advantages
compared to traditional filter bags, including longer filter life,
faster filter changes and reduced air emissions. We look forward to
continuing IFIL USA's strong growth as a part of the Donaldson Team."
Founded in 2009 and based in Harrisonville, Missouri, IFIL USA's
innovative products are sold to a wide range of industries, including
primary metals, grain, food, mining, minerals and pharmaceuticals. IFIL
USA's operations, and its approximately 40 employees, will continue to
function as an independent company, supplying Customers and distributors
with its high quality pleated bag filters.

report revenue from the acquisition in its Industrial Products Segment.
