Sustainability, testing and validation within Product DevelopmentSustainability and product quality are key priorities throughout the full life cycle of Grundfos products. During this site visit, you will get an introduction to how life cycle assessment can be used in product development to understand environmental impact—from materials and production to use and end of life. You will learn how data and environmental insights support better design choices, help identify improvement opportunities, and contribute to the development of more sustainable solutions. In addition, the visit offers insight into testing and validation within product development. At the test centre, you can learn how new products are tested and validated—from early concepts to final product approval. Your guides will be dedicated Grundfos staff who will share their daily work practices and explain the methodologies they use to ensure high product quality. Overall, the visit provides a hands-on understanding of how sustainability and quality considerations are integrated into real product decisions in an international company. |

Sustainability in Production ProcessesSustainability is one of Grundfos’ core values: Join this site visit to see a selection of the environmental projects in energy and wastewater management. See for yourself how we turn water from a lake into water for the production (technical water) and treat wastewater from the production. At the Energy Central, you will see how Grundfos and Bjerringbro Heating Central exchange and store energy. At the Øst 1 factory, you can explore various energy and water projects using Grundfos Technologies. |

Digital Innovation & Cyber Resilience at GrundfosAt Grundfos’ Digital Center in Denmark, you will meet the teams behind the digital services we deliver to customers worldwide. Get an inside look at how we build cyber resilient digital services, designed not only to be secure, but to withstand and recover from real-world cyber threats. We work with resilience across both technology and the way we operate as an organization. You will explore selected solutions, see what happens behind the scenes, and learn how we prepare for the detection and mitigation of cyber risks. To bring it to life, you will get a glimpse of our Cyber Security Escape Room, where we use gamified scenarios to train and challenge teams in handling real cyber threats and building resilience. |

Homegrown ElectronicsDid you know that one of the world’s most advanced electronics factories lies right under your nose in Bjerringbro? Probably not. The electronic components for our intelligent pumps are made here rather than bought from an external supplier, as Grundfos has always been a company that prioritises keeping important technological skills in-house. The tour will take you through Grundfos’ state-of-the-art production floor, where the intelligent motor controls for our energy efficient pumps are made. Grundfos is aiming for full traceability of all products, and the electronics factory is a key driver of this goal. You will have a chance to meet and discuss with both technicians, developers and production staff. |
