Grundfos opens first CRN pump assembly line in the Middle East

Following a feasibility study that examined numerous product types, a decision was taken last year to assemble CRN pumps in Grundfos facilities in the UAE rather than keeping finished stock units. The first 14 pumps were ready by end of 2016.

“We can say now that we’re all set to start selling, 2017 started off with the first official GGD-assembled CRN order for one of our OEM customers,” said Stewart Procter, Grundfos senior director Operations & Customer Service, Middle East.

“The study we undertook concluded that we can increase sales of our CRN1-45 by 350 units in the first year alone. In case we applied further improvements and adhered to the set plans, this number could remarkably rise to an extra 2600 units by the fifth year.”
