Donaldson to acquire Facet Filtration in US$820mn deal. Donaldson Company Inc has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Filtration Group's Facet Filtration business in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately US$820 million, strengthening its position in fuel and fluid filtration for mission-critical applications. The acquisition will become part of Donaldson's Industrial Solutions business and is expected to complement and expand the company's existing product portfolio, particularly in high-performance fuel and fluid filtration. Facet's technologies are widely used in demanding environments where reliability and regulatory compliance are essential, including aerospace and defense and power generation. "Facet is a valuable, strategic addition to our Industrial Solutions business, increasing our exposure to attractive, durable end markets which require high-performance filtration solutions," said Tod Carpenter, chairman, president and CEO of Donaldson. "This acquisition strengthens and diversifies our core product portfolio with new capabilities in fuel and fluid filtration including jet fuel filtration where Facet is a global pioneer. Importantly, approximately 70% of revenues are driven by recurring, regulated replacement part sales with high margins." Facet is best known as a pioneer in jet fuel filtration, with products used at multiple stages of the fuel supply chain, from refinery through to the final fueling point. The company is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and employs 236 people across the US and Europe, with key manufacturing operations in Oklahoma and Spain. Calendar 2025 sales were US$108 million, with revenues primarily generated in North America and Europe. With around 80 years of industry experience, Facet develops filtration technologies designed to prevent contaminants such as water, dust, and dirt from affecting equipment performance and fuel quality. Its in-house research, product development, and manufacturing capabilities are supported by advanced testing and a strong service offering. Donaldson said the transaction broadens its exposure to durable end markets with significant filtration needs, while adding a well-established brand with a global customer base and a strong reputation in aviation fuel filtration.

Parker-Hannifin's (PH) a "standout stock," Says Jim Cramer. Published on november 15, 2025 at 12:36 pm by ramish cheema in news. We recently published 11 Stocks Jim Cramer Talked About. Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH) is one of the largest industrial equipment companies in the world. The firm's products include motion control systems, hydraulics and avionics systems, and other associated items. Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH) made a splash earlier this week after it announced a $9.25 billion deal to buy filtration system manufacturer Filtration Group. Filtration Group's products serve the needs of the heating and cooling market. Given that AI data centers and the demand for liquid cooling are a major discussion point in the stock market, it was unsurprising that Cramer also discussed Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH)'s announcement in the context of data centers: "I mean if you look at Parker-Hannifin, they bought this company that's involved with data center. A standout stock, just terrific." Previously, Cramer commented on Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH)'s shares moving more than $10 in a single trading session: "We saw Eaton and Parker-Hannifin. If you're from the Midwest, these are destination places... but those are a function of strong data center orders that came from lead contractors ABB and Legrand, two European construction companies that just reported that are huge builders of these warehouses full of servers. There's no doubt that the data center buildout is the single biggest construction boom, perhaps since World War II. You can see it if you look at Oracle every day, by the way. I like the buildout. There are many many orders coming to them. I keep telling you these stocks are good. Parker-Hannifin rose $13." While we acknowledge the risk and potential of PH as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than PH and that has 10,000% upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock. Disclosure: None.

Ahlstrom, a global leader in fiber-based specialty materials, has introduced a new flame-retardant paper enhanced with Flame-Gard(TM) technology - engineered to meet the demanding fire safety and durability needs of spray-painting booths and industrial workshops. Certain versions of this specialty paper can serve as protective coverings for walls, ceilings, and floors in workshop environments while others can be converted into filter components for spray painting booths - each tailored to meet the specific demands of their application. When exposed to fire, the paper chars without combusting and self-extinguishes once the flame source is removed, offering a critical layer of safety in high-risk areas. Beyond its flame-retardant properties, the paper delivers excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability, helping maintain surface integrity during installation and use. It also achieves a rare balance between high flame resistance and low water absorption - making it ideal for environments where moisture and overspray are common. PPG introduces ultrafiltration antifouling membrane. PPG announced the introduction of an ultrafiltration (UF) antifouling membrane for industrial water purification and treatment to its portfolio of spiral-wound filter elements. Developed to meet growing demand for sustainable UF filtration solutions, the new membrane is engineered to handle extremely hard-to-treat water containing a wide range1 of oily waste and other contaminants, enabling safe and economical disposal or reuse. The new UF membrane features a super-hydrophobic (water-repelling) surface that resists fouling from trace amounts of oil, grease and other tough-to-remove contaminants. By reducing fouling, the technology can extend membrane service life, lower maintenance costs and minimize downtime for some of the most challenging industries. Unlike other UF and microfiltration (MF) membranes currently on the market, PPG's entire portfolio is produced using a proprietary composite material that does not contain intentionally-added polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Applications for the UF membrane include offshore and onshore oil-water separation, dry dock and in-water marine ship treatment, industrial process water and wastewater, automotive and industrial paint lines, and graywater treatment. PPG has invested in equipment and technology to produce the membrane at its Barberton, Ohio, facility to meet growing market demand. PPG's high-performance microfiltration (MF) and UF membranes separate oil, grease and emulsified contaminants from industrial process water at higher throughputs than conventional membranes. This reduces the number of filters and the amount of floor space needed to recover the water for reuse while improving cleanability and ensuring long-term durability.
