FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DONALDSON AND VOLANT PARTNER TO DEVELOP REPLACEMENT FILTERS
FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
MINNEAPOLIS, MN –September 26, 2007 – Donaldson Company (NYSE:DCI), a leading, worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, announced today that the company has partnered with Volant Cool Air Intakes Inc. to develop replacement filters for the light duty pickup and automobile marketplace. Volant will develop filters for all its current Cool Air Intakes, as well as filters to fit all of its competitor’s aftermarket air intake systems using Donaldson’s patented PowerCore™ filtration technology.
Donaldson’s PowerCore filtration technology includes a compact, high-performance air filtration solution using high-density filtration to reduce system restriction, extend the filter life and reduce overall maintenance costs. The straight-through fluted design of PowerCore combined with Ultra-WebŪ nanofiber technology is five times more efficient than average conventional pleated filters.
Volant has had a tradition of designing and manufacturing high-quality intake systems that are continually tested and improved upon as vehicle models and ECM systems become more sophisticated. Volant is also at the cutting edge of air intake performance with new designs that allow for more consistent horsepower and torque for a variety of truck and sport utility vehicle applications.
The “Volant PowerCore” filters will excel in airflow performance, filtration efficiency and dust holding capacity. These new, compact-sized filters will be available through major retailers, wholesale distributors and mail order/internet dealers. Learn more at www.volantpowercore.com.
