The story

Founded by Poul Due Jensen in 1945, in Bjerringbro.1

Grundfos was established in 1945 in Bjerringbro by the late Poul Due Jensen in the cellar of his home. He gave his company the name of "Bjerringbro Pressestøberi og Maskinfabrik" (Bjerringbro Die-Casting and Machine Factory). In 1953, the company name was changed to "Bjerringbro Pumpefabrik" (Bjerringbro Pump Factory). The icon Archimedes water screw logo was introduced in 1955, and has been used since this time in various forms. In 1967, the company name again changed to "Grundfoss", which originally served as the name of a pump product produced by the company. In 1968 a slight change was made to "Grundfos" by dropping one 's' from the name.
