✦ Synopsis

D anish pump manufacturer

Grundfos has officially opened its new Peerless Engineered Systems (PES) building in Brookshire, Texas, after an investment of almost US$4 million.

The new 45 000 sq ft PES facility, which will continue to focus on the design and manufacture of pre-packaged fire pump systems, shares land with Grundfos Commercial Building Services (the former Paco Pumps).

"In 2006 Grundfos purchased Paco, in 2007 Peerless and in 2008 acquired Yeomans Chicago Corporation. We bought these businesses as a sign of our commitment to North America and now, the Grundfos North American business has grown both organically and through these acquisitions, by a factor of three," said Jes Munk Hansen, managing director of North America for Grundfos.
