BROOKSHIRE, Texas – Grundfos has announced the reintroduction of the Yeomans Chicago Corporation product portfolio to the US wastewater markets. Since acquiring the YCC business in 2008, Grundfos has invested in significant upgrades, operational improvements and service upgrades to ensure the portfolio is best placed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing industry.
As urbanization accelerates and climate change intensifies, the combination of aging infrastructure and increased wastewater volumes means many existing systems are ill-equipped to handle modern challenges. The reintroduction of the Yeomans Chicago Corporation portfolio is designed to tackle this and provide resilient solutions that address system failures, reduce energy consumption, and minimize downtime.
Bringing together over 150 years of engineering heritage, the brands under the Yeomans Chicago Corporation umbrella (Morris, Yeomans and Chicago Pumps) have defined the standards for wastewater transport since inception. Under Grundfos’ stewardship, these brands now benefit from global research and development resources and a modernized supply chain, giving customers confidence in their continued reliability.
The YCC portfolio is aimed particularly at municipal wastewater treatment plants across North America and includes a range of pumps engineered for high performance solids handling, including:
● Dry-pit and wet-sit solids handling pumps: Known for durability in sewage and sludge applications
● Radial and mixed flow pumps: Industry standards for large volume applications and abrasive slurries
Jonathan Hamps-Adams, executive vice president at Grundfos Water Utility, said: "In an era where infrastructure is being pushed to its limits, the industry needs proven technology and engineering to rise to these challenges. By reintroducing the Yeomans Chicago Morris brands to the US market, we are giving our customers access to just that—proven, reliable pumps designed for the most intensive of applications. Backed by Grundfos’ commitment to sustainability and innovation, we’re confident these products will be part of the broader portfolio of solutions we can offer our customers to achieve a water-resilient future."
Yeomans Chicago Corporation operations are based at the Grundfos Water Utility headquarters in Brookshire, Texas, but continue to be supported and produced by the Aurora, Illinois center. All products within the portfolio are manufactured in the US, and are Build America Buy America (BABA) Act compliant.
