Grundfos, an advanced pump solutions and water technologies company from Denmark, will see development at its U.S. headquarters in Brookshire.
The company held both a groundbreaking ceremony on its new production facility and a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its training center—dubbed Academy Americas—on June 24.
“The new production facility is about modernizing and future-proofing our facilities, expanding what we can do for our customers, but also supporting our ambition to double our business by 2030,” Grundfos U.S. Country President Ansell Sims said.
What to expect
The 143,000-square-foot production facility will have office space, a large production and shop floor, a test area and room for future expansion, Sims said.
The facility will produce a variety of commercial building services and water utilities solutions, including pumps, kits, module systems and engineer-to-order pumping systems.
Additionally, Grundfos began repurposing a customer support center six months ago to become Academy Americas.
“This will be a place for workforce development, training new employees, but also technical training for partners who come in,” Sims said. “So, we will have a state-of-the-art facility where they can get hands-on training.”
What they’re saying
“When a company like Grundfos chooses to expand its production footprint, it is making a powerful statement,” said Jesper Møller Sørensen, who serves as the Ambassador of Denmark to the United States. “Statement about confidence in America, in Texas and in the future and that is exactly what we are witnessing today.”
Next steps
Construction will start on the production facility in a “matter of weeks” and will be finished by 2027, Sims said.
