BOFA is now Donaldson BOFA, with BOFA International Ltd and BOFA Americas Inc merging into Donaldson Filtration (GB) Ltd and Donaldson Company Inc.

Tony Lockwood, managing director of Donaldson BOFA, said: “It was BOFA’s world leadership in industrial fume and dust filtration that first attracted Donaldson to invest in our business in 2018. There was already strong synergy in terms of technology but now we’re seeing growing market traction as a result of ever-closer integration of business processes, administration and marketing coordination.

“Specifically, the scientific and research facilities now at our disposal, coupled with Donaldson’s global reach, are driving competitive advantage in new territories and in growth and established sectors, including laser, electronics, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, ink printing, mechanical engineering, dental, medical and pharmaceutical. This collaboration is delivering technology innovations which will further extend our market leadership in portable fume and dust extraction.”

Donaldson BOFA, with offices in the UK, US, and Germany, is eyeing growing market opportunities tied to its parent company’s presence in more than 40 countries, access to over 100 technical laboratories, and an R&D spend standing at more than US$78 million.

With this resource, Donaldson BOFA is able to test new materials and processes more cost effectively and anticipates potential reductions in the time to market of new products and system evolutions.
