On August 14, 2014, the Companyannounced that it entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the voting equity interests in Northern Technical L.L.C., a manufacturer of gas turbine inlet air filtration systems and replacement filters.  The acquisition of Northern Technical reinforces the Company’s commitment to growth with a company that is an excellent strategic fit with its existing Gas Turbine Products business. The acquisition will allow Donaldson to leverage Northern Technical’s strong Customer relationships in the Middle East, the largest gas turbine market in the world, with significant continued growth expected over the next decade.  The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, subject to normal closing conditions.
