On Monday 4th May, Grundfos celebrated its 70th anniversary, the company being created in 1945 by Poul Due Jensen.
“Following the assembly of the first Grundfos pump in a garage by its founder, Poul Due Jensen, in 1944, and the creation one year later of the company Grundfos, we are now celebrating the 70th anniversary this year of the Danish company Grundfos” said Mads Nipper.
The Grundfos motor is the innovation that has always been at the heart of the company. This is the product that has allowed the company to move forward and continuously improve its pumps and pumping systems, achieving improved performance and ease of use.
Today, 4th May, marks the 70th anniversary of this story of progress and human relationships, because, let us remember, Grundfos now has a presence in 53 countries, with 83 subsidiaries distributed around the whole globe employing more than 19,000 people.
“It is such an amazing piece of industrial history about a small company turning into a global Group with 19,000 employees,” says Mads Nipper: “Right from the beginning, Poul Due Jensen considered it his most important duty to make water accessible, and showed that he understood how important it was – and still is – to meet the customers’ needs,” he continues.
With that, he created the foundation for a Group that since then has set one new standard after the other and brought itself in front within its business. A Group that has shipped millions upon millions of pumps to customers in practically all corners of the world, where they have helped improve the quality of life for nearly one seventh of the world’s population.
