The development company Grundfos NoNOx A/S will be taken over by the large German exhaust company Emitec, owned by Continental and GKN. Grundfos NoNOx have specialised in removing NOx exhaust gases from diesel engine exhaust by means of a dosing pump that doses the substance urea into the exhaust system and thereby remove the greatest part of the dangerous NOx exhaust gases to the benefit of the environment.

Grundfos’ Group President, Mr Carsten Bjerg, is most satisfied with the agreement:
“We are very happy that one of our innovations will have still better conditions and development opportunities with Emitec. It is better for technology and environment that our NoNOx technology will go on living in the business where it belongs. We are proud that we have made a sustainable solution for the automobile industry which will be able to make improvements for the environment with it”.

Grundfos took the first steps with the NoNOx technology in 2002, and since then Grundfos NoNOx has cooperated with the large customers of the business, and they have further developed the technology to the competitive solutions that are sold to diesel engine and truck manufacturers today. For example several busses during the Olympian Games in Beijing, China, in 2008 were equipped with the NoNOx technology to minimize air pollution and smog.
