Grundfos has named Andrew Warrington as the new president of
Peerless Pump Co. and its subsidiaries. Dean Douglas, former president and CEO
of Peerless and Yeomans Chicago Corp., has decided to leave Peerless and
Grundfos for a CEO position with a non-competing public company.
Warrington has held the top positions at Peerless in the
service, engineering, marketing, operations and sales functions. Most recently,
he has overseen the International business and the Integration efforts of
Peerless into the global Grundfos Group. A veteran of 20 years in the pump industry,
Warrington has worked in SIHI Pumps in the UK and Peerless Pump Co. in
Indianapolis.
Commenting on the transition, Jes Munk Hansen says, “Although we are sad to say
good-bye to Dean Douglas, Grundfos is delighted that we could select someone
from within the team that created that success as his natural successor as
president of Peerless. Andrew has done all of the top sales and operations jobs
in Peerless; he knows the business and the people well. We expect him to be
able to continue to strengthen the business and the team in the future. We are
even more excited about the growth potential Peerless enjoys within the
Grundfos Group.”
Warrington says, “I am delighted to take up the challenge of leading Peerless.
From the past 11 years, I know that I am privileged to work with one of the
best teams in the business and for a great company. The future looks very
bright for both of our companies, and it is certain that Peerless within
Grundfos will be making a major positive impact for our customers around the
world in the future.”
