A family of 20,000 pioneers

Ever since our founding in 1945, we remain driven to make water more accessible and reliable, to reduce energy waste and increase efficiency.

Discover the Foundation that owns us, the purpose and principles we live by, our leadership structure and take a journey through more than 80 years of history.

Built on a strong Foundation

Thirty years after founding Grundfos, Poul Due Jensen created the Grundfos Foundation. He transferred to it primary ownership of the Grundfos Group to ensure his company would serve the best interests of society for generations to come.

The Foundation’s main purpose is to ensure and support healthy economic growth and development of the Grundfos Group (currently maintaining 87.9% primary ownership), while also funding philanthropic work in the fields of water, research and inclusion. With separate governance bodies, this unique ownership structure allows Grundfos to maintain a high degree of independence and a long-term perspective.

A rich history since 1945

Our story is not just about a water pump company that grew to be one of the biggest in the world. It’s a story of optimism, purpose and collaboration – a story of relentless innovation and belief in better.

For more than 80 years, we’ve proudly protected, respected and advanced the flow of water.
