Donaldson – company profile
Donaldson’s long history dates back to 1915 when company founder Frank Donaldson Sr. invented the world’s first air filter for tractors. Today, Donaldson designs, manufactures, and distributes highly efficient filtration solutions at more than 140 locations worldwide.
What are Donaldson’s strengths?
Its consistent development of new filters and media sets Donaldson apart from its competitors. With sales of USD 2.58 billion annually, the company spends more than USD 60 million on research and development. Donaldson has over 100 laboratories in which the latest market trends and developments are analyzed and shaped into new products. With its large central warehouse in Belgium, Donaldson can guarantee a smooth and fast supply of spare parts. All the company’s products from its various plants around the world converge at this hub before being distributed to customers throughout Europe. Speed and top quality for the customer’s benefit is also the main goal of ELSÄSSER Filtertechnik. With all fast-selling products for the aftermarket permanently in stock at both ELSÄSSER Filtertechnik and at Donaldson in Belgium, we can guarantee that most products will reach the customer within one or two days. This helps you avoid expensive downtime – even during unplanned maintenance of your machine or plant.

How is Donaldson positioned?
Donaldson is divided into several divisions, each catering to specific industries/areas. As a partner, ELSÄSSER Filtertechnik has access to products from all of these areas, but primarily distributes those produced by Donaldson’s “Engine” and “IAF” (industrial dust, steam and fog) divisions.
DONALDSON ENGINE
The Engine division is primarily responsible for four different product groups:
- Air filter
- Fuel filter
- Lube oil filter
- Hydraulic filters
What is Donaldson BLUE / Ultra-Web?
The blue filter media from Donaldson marks the highest quality level of filter media. Donaldson Ultra-Web media has a fine layer of nanofibers over the cellulose media, which allows dirt to be filtered out efficiently. The result is lower back pressure, longer service life and greater efficiency right from the start. Ultra-Web media are now also available for the aftermarket and are offered in all product groups.
DONALDSON TORIT® – INDUSTRIAL AIR FILTRATION
Donaldson offers the perfect solution to ensure clean air in your industrial processes. The portfolio includes complete dust collection systems as well as dust collection cartridges, bag filters and bag filter systems. By using Ultra-Web media technology, Donaldson offers longer service life, cost savings and cleaner air than cartridges with conventional media technology. Donaldson also supplies the right filters for high-temperature applications. Find your perfect industrial filtration solution!
DONALDSON ULTRAFILTER™ – COMPRESSED AIR TECHNOLOGY
