DONALDSON AEROSPACE & DEFENSE HONORED BY BOEING WITH PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE AWARD

FARNBOROUGH, U.K. — JULY 13, 2014 — Donaldson Aerospace & Defense’s work in providing advanced filtration solutions for The Boeing Company’s commercial and military aircraft has garnered one of that airframe manufacturer’s top honors for suppliers – a 2013 Silver Performance Excellence Award.

Boeing presents the Performance Excellence Awards each year to suppliers that have demonstrated superior performance. Donaldson’s award is for its performance in the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30, 2013.

Donaldson’s wide range of filtration solutions for Boeing aircraft help protect critical electronic, fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic and oil systems; shield contaminants from crew-compartment and passenger-cabin air, potable water and lavatories, and help ensure the reliability of in-flight entertainment devices. The company’s cutting-edge, dual-filter Air Purification System is standard on Boeing’s newest airliner, the Boeing 787. Donaldson filtration solutions also protect key systems on the Bell-Boeing V-22 tilt-rotor combat aircraft and the C-17 military transport. Donaldson has been a Boeing supplier since it developed catalytic air cleaners for B-52 strategic bombers in the 1950s.

“This latest award from Boeing recognizes Donaldson’s long commitment to providing quality products and superior customer service for the aerospace industry,” said General Manager Mark Rigby of Donaldson Aerospace & Defense. “All of us at Donaldson are honored to be able to contribute every day to the success of Boeing’s commercial airline and military customers in the important work that they do.”
