A partnership with testing company Eurofins Maritime Services allows Desmi to offer an additional layer of convenience to customers, integrating testing services into its routine maintenance and service visits for pumps and ballast water management (BWM) solutions, or as a standalone service, making it even easier for customers to ensure their water quality is thoroughly tested.
With a global service network, DESMI is present at key maritime hubs such as Shanghai, Busan, Singapore, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Dubai, and Miami.

Leveraging historic state and federal infrastructure investments to build climate resilience and boost water supplies, the State Water Resources Control Board distributed approximately $880 million to water systems and communities during the past fiscal year for projects that will benefit around 12 million Californians.
395 projects across the state have received funding to capture and recycle more water, recharge and protect groundwater, improve stormwater management, expand access to safe drinking water and improve sanitation.
Governor Gavin Newsom said:
California is taking action to build a climate-resilient water system that meets the needs of our communities for the long haul. These projects breaking ground across the state will help hundreds of communities expand access to safe drinking water, improve stormwater management, and secure water supplies now and into the future
These projects advance the Newsom Administration’s all-of-the-above approach to building water resilience through storage, recycling, desalination, conservation and more, and they further the state’s efforts to build more, faster through upgrades to critical infrastructure across the state.
Over the last three years, the State Water Board has distributed more than $5.2 billion to infrastructure projects and drinking water systems, drawing from multiple sources including the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – unprecedented federal support that will reach $2.8 billion cumulatively for California by the end of 2026

Niels Due Jensen has passed away ages 81.
My beloved father has passed away, surrounded by his family. His last days were difficult due to illness, but we shared moments of talking, crying, and laughing together. His joy and gratitude for life were extraordinary. Although he dedicated much of his life to Grundfos, he was always there for us as a husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law. He has always been there for us and has taught us respect for other people, integrity and the importance of valuing and supporting diversity
says his son, Poul Due Jensen.
Despite the loss of this great man who elevated Grundfos from a Danish company to a global entity, his legacy endures. Niels Due Jensen is here no more. Today we commit to honouring his memory and keeping his legacy alive.
