Donaldson expands engine filtration manufacturing facility in India
Article Type: Industry news From: Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, Volume 62, Issue 1
Donaldson Company, a leading, worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, announced today the opening of the company's expanded manufacturing facility in Gurgaon, State of Haryana, India.
In 1994, Donaldson opened the Gurgaon, India facility to manufacture Gas Turbine Engine intake systems and air filters. Manufacturing capacity was expanded in 1999 with the establishment of the Engine Systems & Parts' Radial Seal air intake filtration manufacturing capability. The 2009 capacity enhancement triples the size of the previous plant and includes an in-house Engine product design facility for system solutions sought after by local OEM customers.
The new 70,000 sq. ft facility will primarily produce air filtration products (such as air cleaners and air elements) and hydraulic filtration systems for the engine and vehicle and gas turbine markets. Donaldson's expansion in this region will provide reduced costs associated with the importing of products from other locations and improved customer support.
“India is a thriving market for Donaldson filtration technologies,” said Jay Ward, Senior Vice President, Engine Products at Donaldson Company. “Expanding this manufacturing facility is a key addition to our unsurpassed global footprint which will support our worldwide customers. We anticipate that this in-country manufacturing presence will bolster sales and after-sales service to our OEM, independent aftermarket distribution and end-user customers in the region and around the world.”
