The Grundfos “Pumps on Tour” – a mobile educational center
for professionals in the residential, commercial and industrial pumping
industry – recently visited Chicago,
setting up on the city’s South Side at U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Major
League Baseball’s Chicago White Sox.
Held on June 22, the event welcomed representatives from
approximately 75 local mechanical contracting and industrial companies, as well
as a dozen Chicago-area wholesale-distribution firms.
The
Chicago event
was one of 48 that the “Pumps on Tour” vehicle will host in 27 different states
during 2010. Through June 22, more than 2,400 people at 29 different stops had
visited the 1,200-square-foot vehicle for hands-on training by Grundfos staff
and the chance to experience first-hand an array of new pump products.
