Pump Technology

How does pump manufacturer Grundfos plan to defend its global position as the number 1? And what is its management doing to prepare for future challenges? PROCESS asked Mads Nipper, CEO and Group President.

Not all milk becomes cheese: Whether in the dairy, during parts washing or in the hospital, the challenges for wastewater treatment are immense. It is therefore even more important that a modular system is equipped with the appropriate processes and technologies.

Water treatment and purification is a technologically demanding process. Dosing is a core task here: Additives and auxiliary agents or highly effective chemicals need to be added both cost-effectively and safely for the environment, which means that the requirements for dosing pumps are just as high. Digitalization is the order of the day here as well.

Grundfos’ sustainable, digital water and wastewater solutions have earned acclaim from consultancy company Frost & Sullivan at their annual awards show.

In 2018, Grundfos has gained further global market share and delivers record high sales, while maintaining solid profitability.

What makes out a successful pump manufacturer in a technology-focused industry like the process industry? The answer is application expertise, which creates added value for the customer — after all, plant builders and users expect system solutions that are tailored to their individual processes. Industry-specific know-how is and always has been the driving force of innovation at Grundfos.
