Fresno, birthplace of Grundfos’ U.S. operations, welcomes international executives, past and present employees and local dignitaries.
Denmark-based Grundfos celebrated 40 years of operations in the United States with a ceremony at its facility in Fresno, Calif., on Nov. 14, 2013. Since 1973, Grundfos USA has grown from one small office in Fresno to more than 1,300 employees in five major facilities nationwide.
“This milestone is incredibly significant because in only 40 years Grundfos has grown into a strong competitor in the U.S. pump market,” said Niels Due Jensen, chairman of the Poul Due Jensen Foundation and son of Grundfos’ founder. “It was one of my father’s biggest dreams to establish his company here in the U.S. and I think he would have been very proud to see the results of all that hard work and dedication.”
