Donaldson Co. opened a new distribution center in Lima, Peru, this week, its fourth in Latin America.
Officials at the Bloomington-based factory, airplane and truck filtration maker said that the new center will support growing relations with customers in the mining, transportation and construction industries.
Donaldson Latin America Vice President Guillermo Briseno said the timing is right for the new warehouse because "Peru has an expanding mining industry, including large reserves of gold, silver, copper and zinc, which offers Donaldson expanded opportunities to sell and distribute our filtration technologies."
Separately, Donaldson boasts distribution centers in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.
"We will continue to build our network so we can offer customers industry leading service in every important market," Briseno said.
In Peru, Donaldson will distribute a full line of products, including its Blue air intake filters, lube, coolant and onboard fuel filters for large truck and construction machines. It will also sell its Duramax hydraulic filters and its Torit dust collection systems.
