Donaldson Co., Inc. (H Q)
Donaldson Company, Inc. is a Delaware corporation whose original certificate of incorporation was filed on 24 December 1936, according to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation. GLEIF records the company under LEI OZE6KXY9QQPR8EJ8WL20 with Delaware file number 355127, fully corroborated against the Delaware register. The company designs and makes filtration systems and replacement filters: air, fuel, lube, hydraulic and emissions products for engines and off-road and on-road equipment, and dust, fume, gas and process filtration for industrial users. Its common stock ($5.00 par value) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker DCI (SEC CIK 0000029644). The 10-K dates the business back to 1915.
The registry record behind this profile is the Minnesota Secretary of State entry, file number 7687. It registers Donaldson Company, Inc. as a foreign business corporation with Delaware as its home jurisdiction, filed on 29 December 1936. On 30 September 2026 that entry read “Active / In Good Standing”, with the next renewal due on 31 December 2026. This entry is the company’s authority to do business in Minnesota. It is not the company’s charter, and an active registration does not by itself show that the company is currently trading. The principal executive offices are at 1400 West 94th Street, ZIP code 55431. The company’s EDGAR address places that in Bloomington, but the 10-K cover gives the city as Minneapolis.
In fiscal 2026 (the year ended 31 July 2026) the company reported three segments. Mobile Solutions made up 62.3% of net sales: Off-Road, On-Road and Aftermarket filtration sold to equipment makers in construction, mining, agriculture and transportation, and to distributors. Industrial Solutions made up 29.1%: industrial air filtration, compressed-air and industrial-gas purification, hydraulics, gas-turbine inlet systems for power generation, and aerospace and defense filtration. Life Sciences made up 8.6%: food and beverage, disk-drive, membrane, microelectronics and bioprocessing products.
These are consolidated figures from the fiscal 2026 10-K. Net sales were $3,885.6 million, against $3,690.9 million in fiscal 2025. Net earnings were $453.8 million, against $367.0 million, and diluted earnings per share were $3.85. By region, 42.5% of sales came from the U.S. and Canada, 29.2% from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 17.7% from Asia Pacific and 10.6% from Latin America. On 31 July 2026 the company had about 15,500 full-time employees at more than 150 locations on six continents. Of those locations, 79 are manufacturing or distribution sites.
On 4 May 2026 Donaldson Company, Inc. completed its purchase of Filtration Group’s Facet Filtration business, which makes fuel and fluid filtration for aerospace, defense and power generation. The deal was valued at $820.0 million, and the company issued $820.0 million of new debt to pay for it.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Donaldson Company, Inc.
Donaldson Company, Inc. is a widely held NYSE-listed company with a single class of common stock. The 10-K reports 115,910,129 shares outstanding on 11 September 2026. U.S. law does not publish a full shareholder register for a listed company. The public record only shows holders who have filed Schedule 13G or 13D beneficial-ownership reports, which applies at more than 5% of the class.
The latest proxy statement lists three holders above 5%. It was mailed on 6 October 2025, and its percentages are measured against 115,831,472 shares outstanding on 22 September 2025. The three holders were The Vanguard Group, Inc. with 12,884,860 shares (11.1%), BlackRock, Inc. with 10,954,890 shares (9.5%) and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and affiliates with 9,600,103 shares (8.3%). All three figures come from Schedule 13G/A filings made in January and February 2024. BlackRock’s own filing of 24 January 2024 reported 9.1% against the share count it used.
Vanguard’s reporting has changed since then. The Vanguard Group, Inc. filed a Schedule 13G/A on 26 March 2026 reporting 0 shares, citing an internal realignment on 12 January 2026. This is a change of reporting entity, not a sale. On 29 April 2026 two Vanguard entities filed new Schedule 13Gs, with positions as of 31 March 2026. Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC reported 6,535,093 shares (5.64%), and Vanguard Capital Management LLC reported 6,064,424 shares (5.23%). EDGAR’s filing list for the company, which does include these 2026 Vanguard filings, shows no later schedule from BlackRock or State Farm than their early-2024 amendments. Their positions on the public record are therefore more than two years old and should not be read as current.
Data availability
Major shareholders only. Only holdings above the 5% SEC reporting threshold are disclosed, and each figure is dated to its filing. No single disclosed holder controls the company. No ultimate beneficial owner can be identified for this widely held company, and none is published here. The 2026 proxy statement had not been filed by 30 September 2026.

Officers
Directors and officers of Donaldson Company, Inc.
The company’s Form 10-K, signed on 25 September 2026, shows a board of ten directors. Richard B. Lewis is President, Chief Executive Officer and director. Tod E. Carpenter is Executive Chairman and director. The other eight directors are Pilar Cruz, Christopher M. Hilger, Richard M. Olson, James J. Owens, Ajita G. Rajendra, Trudy A. Rautio, Daniel P. Shine and Jacinth C. Smiley. The October 2025 proxy statement names Christopher M. Hilger as independent Lead Director since 2025. Directors serve staggered three-year terms.
The same 10-K lists six executive officers as of 31 August 2026:
- Richard B. Lewis, President and CEO since March 2026

- Bart Driesen, President, Mobile Solutions, since September 2025
Andrew J. Cebulla, Vice President and Corporate Controller, signs as principal accounting officer.
The Minnesota Secretary of State record is out of date. It still names Tod E. Carpenter as Chief Executive Officer, because its latest annual renewal was filed on 25 September 2025, before the change of CEO.
Recent officer changes
- 2 March 2026: Richard B. Lewis became President and Chief Executive Officer and joined the board. He succeeded Tod E. Carpenter, who retired as CEO at the end of 1 March 2026 and stayed on as Executive Chairman. The change was announced on 29 January 2026 in a Form 8-K.
- 31 July 2026: Douglas A. Milroy resigned from the board, where he had served since 2016. He gave notice on 23 July 2026, reported in a Form 8-K on 24 July 2026.

Data availability
Full for current directors and executive officers, from SEC filings dated up to 25 September 2026. Delaware does not publish a public officer list. The Minnesota foreign-corporation record names only a chief executive, and that entry is out of date. None of the sources records nationality, so it is not disclosed.

Group Structure
Group structure of Donaldson Company, Inc.
Donaldson Company, Inc. is the listed parent of the Donaldson group, and its SEC filings name no parent company above it. GLEIF records a reporting exception for both its direct and its ultimate accounting-consolidation parent, with the reason “no known person”.
Exhibit 21 to the fiscal 2026 Form 10-K, filed 25 September 2026, lists 56 wholly owned subsidiaries and 4 joint ventures or partnerships. They are located in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, including Belgium, China, the United Kingdom, France, the Czech Republic, South Africa, Thailand, Brazil and Mexico.
The exhibit gives each company’s name and location only. It does not give registration numbers or say whether a holding is direct or indirect. SEC rules also allow insignificant subsidiaries to be left out, so the list may not be complete.
GLEIF separately lists 16 entities that report Donaldson Company, Inc. as their direct accounting-consolidation parent. One of them, DLX USD FIN CO S.à r.l. of Luxembourg, does not appear in Exhibit 21.
