Donaldson Company, Inc., the world leader in designing, developing and manufacturing advanced filtration solutions, has strengthened support and services for aerospace customers throughout Asia by naming Avio-Diepen as their major distribution partner of aftermarket commercial fixed wing aerospace products in that region.

"By designating a distributor throughout Asia, we are further improving parts availability and reducing lead times in the region, which we are confident will make Donaldson Aerospace & Defense Group customers even more satisfied," said Sheila Peyraud, General Manager, Aerospace & Defense at Donaldson. "We are very pleased to expand our long-standing relationship with Avio-Diepen, a global aerospace industry leader specializing in materials management and parts distribution."

Netherlands-based Avio-Diepen already supports Donaldson Aerospace & Defense customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
