Grundfos Pumps: History and Applications

Back

December 16, 2016 By Mike Hurlbatt

Grundfos Pumps is the largest global pump manufacturer. Their main facility is in Denmark and they now boast more than 18,000 employees worldwide. They make more than 12 million pumps every year. Their main products are circulator pumps, submersible pumps and centrifugal pumps.

We feel their centrifugal pumps are as good as any in the world and they are our main import from Grundfos Pumps. Grundfos also manufactures standalone pump motors and a host of controls and electronics for pumps and pumping systems.

Mining Industry- Grundfos Pumps

Grundfos Pumps: Their History

The late Poul Due Jensen founded Grundfos Pumps in 1945 in Bjerringbro. They were originally called the Bjerringbro Die Casting and Machine Factory. By 1967, when they were renamed Grundfos, they had been through numerous name changes.

Grundfos has an unique management structure that ensures they will stay at the top of the profession, both for quality and for innovation. In 1975, the Poul Due Jensen Foundation was established. They currently own 86% of Grundfos stock, with 12% being held by the Jensen family and 2% owned by employees.

The reason the foundation exists is to promote the growth of Grundfos Pumps. All capital and profits are reinvested back into the foundation. A sizeable portion is earmarked for research and development. This ensures that Grundfos Pumps will remain at the forefront of the industry as an innovator.

Applications for Grundfos Pumps

Grundfos is a giant in the resource industry. They are the most common pump in the oil, gas and mining industries. WA and QLD are the most prolific users of these pumps, including wastewater pumps, end suction pumps, SP booster sets, SP dewatering pumps and dosing pumps. Grundfos circulation pumps are also used for HVAC in hotels, offices and homes. They are also used in plant processes and maintenance.

In addition to being OEM for many products, Grundfos pumps are also used for municipal water supply, greenhouses, irrigation and for sewage.
