Donaldson Co manufactures filtration
systems and replacements parts including air and liquid filters, exhaust and
emission control products, in-plant air cleaning systems, air purification
systems, intake systems and specialized filters. The company has grown profits and dividends
at a 13-15% pace over the last 10 years earning an 19-25% return on
equity. As with most industrial
equipment suppliers 2009 was a tough year.
However, the company has returned to its above average rate of earnings
growth as a result of:
(1) expansion
into emerging markets,
(2) the
introduction of new products through technological innovation,
(3) improved
productivity coming from a comprehensive cost rationalization program.
Negatives:
(1)
faltering demand in several of its end markets,
(2) rising raw
material costs.
