Grundfos leaders break ground on a production expansion to strengthen manufacturing capacity at its Brookshire campus located west of Houston. The investment reinforces the company’s long term commitment to growth in the United States and the Americas.
The event brought together Grundfos leaders; Jesper Møller Sørensen, Denmark’s ambassador to the United States; Brookshire Mayor Robert Richards; State Rep. Stan Kitzman; and other local and regional leaders, reflecting the excitement for the expansion and the region’s critical role in the company’s U.S. manufacturing growth.
Coinciding with the groundbreaking ceremony, Grundfos also celebrated the opening of the Grundfos Academy Americas, a new training and partner collaboration hub. Designed for collaboration and discovery, the new training academy gives partners a hands-on environment to explore Grundfos products and build the expertise needed to deliver smarter water solutions.
“Our growing presence in Brookshire reflects both our confidence in the U.S. market and our long-term commitment to investing where our customers and partners need us most,” said Poul Due Jensen, chief executive officer of Grundfos. “The Greater Houston Area offers the skilled workforce, transportation access and proximity to global ports that allow us to manufacture advanced water technologies efficiently and move them across the U.S.”
A long-term investment in U.S. capacity and customer proximity
The multi-million-dollar investment will increase manufacturing capacity, enhancing Grundfos’ ability to serve North American customers more flexibly and with shorter lead times. The expansion supports the company’s strategic ambition to achieve annual double-digit growth in the U.S. and reflects the market’s importance as a key driver of global growth. Momentum backs this ambition: Grundfos delivered 15% growth in the US in 2025, underscoring strong customer demand behind the decision to expand capacity in Brookshire, TX.
The new approximately 143,000-square-foot production facility will manufacture advanced pump systems and water technologies primarily for the water utility and commercial buildings markets, addressing the growing demand for energy and water-efficient solutions. Production processes include assembly, welding, fabrication, testing, and finishing with an estimated annual capacity of 75,000 units.
Grundfos continues to see strong momentum in the U.S.
Located west of Houston, the Brookshire campus serves as Grundfos’ U.S. headquarters. The Brookshire expansion comes as Grundfos continues to see strong momentum in the U.S., which is now the company’s largest market, accounting for approximately one-fifth of its global revenue due to increased investment in water infrastructure, energy-efficient buildings and industrial water systems. Over the long term, Grundfos aims to convert an even larger share of its global business from the U.S. market through 2040.
“Grundfos’ investment in Brookshire is a strong example of the close economic partnership between Denmark and the U.S.,” said Jesper Møller Sørensen, Denmark’s ambassador to the United States. “Danish companies continue to invest in American communities, creating jobs, strengthening local manufacturing, and delivering innovative solutions that support the industries of the future. Today’s groundbreaking reflects our shared commitment to growth, innovation, and long-term cooperation.”
The project underscores Grundfos’ broader ambition to pioneer intelligent water and climate solutions that improve quality of life while advancing sustainability efforts globally.
“I am extremely pleased to strengthen our North American production footprint with a new LEED certified factory, featuring one of the most advanced manufacturing setups in the industry. This marks an important step in our journey in the U.S. and it enables us to deliver more energy-efficient and reliable solutions while driving down energy consumption in buildings and industries,” said Bent Jensen, EVP and Divisional CEO of Grundfos’ Commercial Building Services.
Construction is expected to be completed by Q3 2027, with the first production lines planned to start up in Q4 2027.
