Sustainable Manufacturing

Within sustainable manufacturing, you’ll find projects related to the development of new sustainable production technologies and remanufacturing of pump components from the Grundfos Take Back programme.

Contact: Leif Gram Nielsen

Manufacturing Process Technologies

Within manufacturing process technologies you’ll find projects related to the development and optimisation of manufacturing processes for our hydraulic components, motors, integrated controls and also final assembly of pumps and pump solutions. 

Contact: Torben Buch Rasmussen

Additive Manufacturing

Within Additive Manufacturing, you’ll find projects related to the development of additive manufacturing processes, materials and design in both metal and polymers.

Contact: Thorsten Brorson Otte

Sensors

In Sensors, you’ll help us develop sensor solutions for our pumps and pump systems. The sensors we work with range from flow, pressure and temperature sensors, to optical, vibrational and electromagnetic sensors. Furthermore we also work with soft sensors. Our projects are typically within these areas:

  • Sensor principles
  • Hardware electronics, which include both analogue and digital electronics
  • Sensor packaging and integration
  • Signal processing
