Discover our fascinating history from where it all began, at our museums in Bjerringbro, Denmark.
Grundfos Museum: The Factory
The museum, covering 1,600 m², tells about the great importance of production technology for Grundfos' success over 80 years. The exhibition depicts, among other things, Grundfos' work with new materials and innovative machines and tools, such as the legendary machining center called "the carousel." The exhibition is set up in our first factory, close to the founder's private residence.
Grundfos Museum: The History
The museum tells the story of how three generations of the Due Jensen family have created and shaped Grundfos. There is also a focus on the development of products from "Grisen" - Grundfos' very first pump in 1945 - to modern intelligent and energy-saving pump solutions. The museum also features a reconstruction of an early Grundfos workshop from the 1940s.
Grundfos Museum: The Founder’s Home
The home of the founders Poul and Inger Due Jensen is reconstructed as it appeared in 1963. The museum testifies to the unique connection between the company and the family home, which is the foundation of the Grundfos culture and its values.
