Advancing Sustainability: Grundfos and YCM Join Forces to Transform Taiwan’s Machine Tools Industry

Grundfos, a global leader in advanced pump solutions and water technology, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Yeong Chin Machinery Industries Co., Ltd. (YCM), to expedite the transition to intelligent and energy-efficient systems in Taiwan’s machine tool manufacturing industry, thereby enhancing sustainability.

As the first pump manufacturer and water solutions provider to receive full validation for its 2050 net-zero target from the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Grundfos is committed to driving its transformation towards a net-zero future. This commitment includes helping its customers save energy through intelligent, connected, and energy-efficient e-pump solutions that provide immediate and significant energy and cost savings, optimise system performance, reduce CO2 emissions and minimise service and maintenance requirements. YCM, a leader in the machine tools manufacturing industry with a focus on high-end markets, has successfully integrated Grundfos’ iSolutions and e-pumps for several years. This cooperation extends beyond product offerings, representing a strategic alliance to elevate the entire industry.

We are delighted that YCM, our valuable and longstanding partner, has leveraged Grundfos’ products and solutions, especially our E-offerings, to expedite the transition to intelligent and energy-efficient systems in Taiwan’s machine tool manufacturing industry and advance ESG commitments.
