Expect the  BEST in  UNEXPECTED Places You expect to see Donaldson Company’s filtration products on the heavy-duty truck traveling the interstate highway, or on the construction equipment on  the side of the road. After all, that’s where our company began. But you aren’t as likely to expect our filters in the camera that captures memories of your daughter’s birthday party. Or in the backup generator  providing electricity to your computer center or office. How about in the lawn tractor that mows your lawn? Donaldson filters and related products are in many unexpected places – in products you see, touch and use every day. Our long-term, focused investment in filtration technology has created the leverage to carry us into new product lines, new markets and new geography. This diversification in end markets, linked by a common technology base, has enabled us to smooth out the ups and downs of the various market segments and to achieve our 12th consecu- tive year of double-digit earnings growth – no small feat in these turbulent economic times. We’re proud of our progress so far. Our industrial businesses are approach- ing our goal of 50 percent of total revenues, and our international businesses make up almost 38 percent of total revenues with operations in 19 countries. Donaldson Company holds more than 370 U.S. patents and related patents filed around the world and our employees are constantly developing new ways to utilize superior filtration and acoustic technology for products that are still years away from market. So expect the best in unexpected places – today and in the future.
