Donaldson opens plant in Pune for making air filtration products

Pune (Maharashtra)

Donaldson India Filtration Systems Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Donaldson Company Inc (a leading worldwide manufacturer of innovative filtration products and solutions), has opened its new industrial air filtration facility in Pune, Maharashtra. The new 50,000 sq ft Donaldson facility, located at Chakan Industrial Area in Pune, was inaugurated by Andrew Dahlgren, Vice President of Donaldson Asia Pacific, on June 28, 2022. The industrial dust, fume and mist collectors and filters produced at the plant for the South Asian Market include:
  • Downflo series of cartridge collectors (Downflo Oval, Downflo Evolution and Packaged Downflo Evolution), 
  • PowerCore CP series of cartridge dust collectors (CPV and CPC), and 
  • Dalamatic line of baghouse collectors (Dalamatic Cased and Dalamatic Insertable)

These industry-leading collectors and filters, part of Donaldson’s Industrial Filtration Solutions reporting unit, help manufacturers increase efficiency, reduce operating costs and provide a cleaner workspace for employees.

Andrew Dahlgren said, “India is a very important market for Donaldson, and we are deeply committed to this South Asia Region. Our fiscal 2021 sales in Asia Pacific were $ 649 million, representing 23% of the company’s total sales. In fiscal 2021, total company Industrial Filtration Solutions sales were about $622 million and grew 16.3% year over year. India is a significant contributor to current sales and a source of significant growth in the region. This investment enables us to localize more of our production and serve our customers more effectively in the region, particularly with today’s supply chain challenges.” 

Viraj Kadam, Managing Director of Donaldson South Asia, added, “Donaldson is a leading player in the industrial air filtration market in South Asia. This new facility in Pune will allow us to provide more of our products, with an emphasis on manufacturing them locally. This is in line with our government’s Make in India focus.” 

Globally, Donaldson operates 50 manufacturing plants and 22 distribution centers in more than 20 countries. The company plans to continue to expand its strong global footprint to ensure customers in every market have access to its diversified portfolio of value-added products and solutions.

Donaldson first entered the India market in 1994 through a joint venture focused on the gas turbine power generation market. In 1999, the Gurgaon location became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the product offering extended to diesel engine-related filtration solutions. The 2007 expansion of the Gurgaon location tripled the size of the manufacturing operations for the company's engine and industrial filtration businesses in India.
