"We are excited to support Hy-Pro's dedicated team and valued customers," said Tom Scalf, Donaldson's senior vice president of engine products. "Hy-Pro's application expertise and filtration products improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of their customers' systems, often by extending the life of critical equipment and expensive fluids.

"Like Donaldson, Hy-Pro has demonstrated a commitment to product innovation and a high level of customer support to solve their customers' filtration problems. We welcome Hy-Pro's employees and customers, and we look forward to continuing to grow the Hy-Pro business with them."
