MAY 7, 2012 President of Grundfos North America Speaks at Congressional Forum Denmark’s reduction of water and energy consumption seen as model for boosting economic investment and combating climate change in U.S. Jes Munk Hansen, president of Grundfos North America, recently joined Pia Olsen Dyhr, Danish minister for trade and investment, at a congressional forum in Washington, D.C., to discuss how Grundfos’ home country, Denmark, is meeting the economic, environmental and energy challenges of the coming decades and how the United States can apply these lessons. April 24, 2012 Grundfos Centralizes North American Municipal Waste Water Business Near Chicago World’s largest pump producer enhances its national manufacturing presence in Illinois, launching new “competency center” focused solely on waste water market. Grundfos today celebrated the official launch of a new business-development “competency center,” serving all of North America and devoted exclusively to the municipal waste water market. Located approximately 40 miles west of Chicago, the center is housed in the 105,000-square-foot, pump-manufacturing facility of the former Yeomans Chicago Corporation (YCC), which Grundfos acquired in December 2008. June 28, 2011 Grundfos Pumps to Halve Water Consumption For Irrigation at Fresno Facility During 2011 Grundfos Pumps Corporation today announced that it will voluntarily cut in half the amount of potable water used to irrigate its 27-acre campus here during 2011, with plans to eliminate the practice entirely by the end of 2012. As a result, the global pumps and pumping systems manufacturer will save roughly 3 million gallons (11,300 cubic meters) of potable water during 2011 - enough to fill four Olympic‐sized swimming pools. In 2013, the facility plans for all campus irrigation to be supplied by reclaimed water.

January 9, 2012 Advanced Grundfos Pumping System Pays For Itself in Two Years by Efficiently Matching Building Water Pressure with Demand Veteran New York plumbing contractor Evan Samouhos was so confident in the potential energy savings offered by a new domestic water booster pump system that he fronted the purchase himself. July 26, 2011 Circulator Pumps With ECM Technology Next Trend In Intelligent Hydronics Design Over the last five years, circulators used for hydronic and radiant heating systems have become more energy-efficient thanks to ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) technology. The intelligent speed control these circulators provide is drastically reducing energy use without sacrificing performance. December 1, 2010 After reducing pumping power consumption from 640 to 112 Watts, or 83%, during winter of 2009-2010, T.J. Hunt now confidently recommends Grundfos ALPHA to hydronic installers. When it comes to bringing new products to their contractor-customers for the first time, plumbing and heating wholesalers tend to tread very carefully. November 2010 Mechanical contractor works with engineer and general contractor to shift spec from 39 fixed-speed pumps to 19 ECM variable-speed models at Gallatin Field Airport Car Wash, cutting power consumption without undercutting system longevity and performance. Once the bids are submitted and the contracts awarded on a commercial project, it is not unusual for many of the specifications and perhaps even the mechanical-system designs themselves to undergo varying degrees of revision by one or more of the principals involved. January 25, 2010 New Generation of Circulator Pumps Spurs Dramatic Energy Savings for Off-Grid, Solar Home Homeowner Michael Sperry replaced a conventional circulator in his radiant heating system with a new Grundfos ALPHA™, cutting power consumption from 186 watts to 19 watts with no sacrifice in comfort. After all, “we are accustomed to keeping our thermostat at 76°F during the coldest months,” he explains.
