Principal Sponsor
Grundfos was founded in Denmark in 1945 by the young and enthusiastic engineer, Poul Due Jensen, who invented his own water pump for a local farmer and in so doing laid the foundation of what Grundfos is today.
Grundfos has over the years developed into a global leader in advanced pump solutions and a trendsetter in water technology. Through close to 100 companies we are directly accessible in more than 60 countries worldwide where approximately 20,000 employees take pride in helping people availing water where it is needed, using as little energy as possible.
Our headquarters, R&D Centre, and main factory are still in the small Danish town of Bjerringbro where the founder started but today we also have development and production facilities in many other countries including the USA, Hungary, China, India, and Russia. We produce more than 16 million pumps a year and spend around 5% of our annual turnover on the research and development of new innovative products and solutions. Energy efficient pumps are key to environmental sustainability, and it is for this reason that Grundfos has developed and produced its own electronic pump components since 1991.
No matter where in the world you meet Grundfos, our slogan “Possibility in every drop” encapsulates our brand position, showing relentless ambition, optimism and belief that possibilities are everywhere, waiting to be discovered.
