For over 100 years we have helped solve some of the world’s most complex filtration problems. We are committed to providing solutions to our customers; motivated to do our best work; and determined to do the right thing in business and society.

The Donaldson Company was founded in 1915 by Frank Donaldson, who developed a simple air filter to solve a farmer’s tractor problem. Exhaust products were added to their product line in the late 1920s to solve the problem of engine sparks igniting crops. Donaldson’s success in developing agricultural equipment led them to focus on products for the construction and mining industries, and later on lorries.

In the 1950s Donaldson began international sales and distribution through licence agreements with overseas manufacturers. In 1958, operations began in the UK to support Caterpillar and now serve the needs of customers in 19 countries. Today, with 12,000 employees and a wide range of products, Donaldson Filter operates all over the world.
