ABOUT POUL DUE JENSEN:

Poul Due Jensen was born May the 19 th. 1912 and lived together with his parents and brother at the local poorhouse in Sahl outside Bjerringbro in Denmark.
Unfortunately, Poul Due Jensen’s early years wasn’t the brightest because of his brothers and mother’s early death, which was a big tragedy for the family.
During Poul Due Jensen’s teenage years, he dreamed about being a carpenter, but unfortunately, Poul Due Jensen couldn’t get an apprenticeship at the local carpenter. Luckily, the local machine shop, Svendsens Machine shop in Bjerringbro, had an apprenticeship for Poul Due Jensen and then Poul Due Jensen started his carrier by making tools.
As years went by, Poul Due Jensen wanted to start his own carrier and had a dream of being independent. He made his own dream come true by starting “Bjerringbro Pressestøberi og Maskinfabrik” which produced heat installations and plumbing. The small business started growing bigger and after helping a farmer with designing a pump, Poul Due Jensen finally recognised the great success in designing pumps. Poul Due Jensen’s first pump was delivered in 1946 and was from the beginning a success. The next models was improved in many ways and got the great new name, Grundfoss.
