Just one year after the international pump corporation Grundfos added Peerless Pump Company to its group of companies, it has now acquired Yeomans Chicago Corporation (YCC) of Aurora, IL, which sells products under the Yeomans Pump, Chicago Pump and Morris Pumps brands and focuses primarily in the waste water and sewage markets. Dean Douglas, current Peerless President will become CEO of the combined Yeomans and Peerless operations.

The Yeomans acquisition will further strengthen the Grundfos product offering, specifically to the waste water segment of the market. “We are very pleased that Yeomans Chicago Corporation is now part of the Grundfos Group. We have had a close dialogue with the owners for some time and are delighted that this key piece in our North American strategies has now been added. Grundfos is confident in the potential of the North American pump market and the last years’ significant organic growth has proven to us that there is much more to achieve”, said Soren Sorensen, Group Executive Vice President and chairman of the Board of Grundfos North America.” The synergies with the Peerless, PACO, Yeomans and Grundfos brand will provide an immediate positive impact”, says Jes Munk Hansen, President of Grundfos North America.
