Donaldson Company (NYSE:DCI), a leading worldwide manufacturer of
filtration systems and parts, announces the new brand identity of its
Aerospace and Defense Group. The Aerospace and Defense Group
consolidated three acquired brands -- Aerospace Filtration Systems
(AFS), Le Bozec Filtration and Systems (Le Bozec), and Western Filter –
into its existing brand in order to provide a singular customer
experience and expand the product offering available to customers.
"This decision was made to better distinguish Donaldson's Aerospace and
Defense Group as a leader in filtration solutions. This change will
allow for a united Aerospace and Defense Group and a singular customer
experience. Collectively, we will now offer a full range of filtration
for each aerospace and defense market segment," said Sheila Peyraud,
General Manager of Aerospace and Defense at Donaldson.
As part of this initiative, AFS, Le Bozec and Western Filter will
transition to the Donaldson brand. AFS will continue to operate out of
Saint Louis, MO and offer superior barrier filters for the rotorcraft
industry. Le Bozec will continue to serve the European Aerospace and
Defense market and maintain an office in Paris, France. Western Filter
will continue to operate out of Valencia, CA and provide liquid
filtration to the aerospace and defense industry.
The Donaldson Aerospace and Defense Group headquarters will remain in
Minneapolis, MN. Current Donaldson customers will now be offered an
extended product line due to this integration. Donaldson's Aerospace and
Defense Group remains committed to providing quality products, reliable
and prompt customer service and a broad range of filtration solutions
for your organization.
