Portable industrial fume and dust extraction company BOFA, headquartered in Poole, Dorset, UK, has announced a name change to Donaldson BOFA. The rebranding is said to reflect a closer alignment with its parent company, Donaldson. Additionally, the company announced the merger of BOFA International and BOFA Americas into Donaldson Filtration (GB) and Donaldson Company Inc, respectively.

“It was BOFA’s world leadership in industrial fume and dust filtration that first attracted Donaldson to invest in our business in 2018,” stated Tony Lockwood, Donaldson BOFA Managing Director. “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,” Lockwood continued. “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, said it is eyeing growing market opportunities thanks to the parent company’s presence in more than forty countries. It has access to over 100 technical laboratories, and an R&D spend standing at more than $78m.

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.

Although Donaldson BOFA products are already sold to customers in 120 countries around the world, this closer alignment opens up new market opportunities for the business across a broader range of industries and applications.
