Grundfos at CIIE-2026: Four Pumps for Liquid Cooling and Strategic Agreements in China

From 5 to 10 November 2026, the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) was held in Shanghai. Grundfos, a repeat participant in the event, built its exhibition around the theme "Water and Energy Synergy, Smart Future" and presented four new pumps making their Asian debut.

New Products for Liquid Cooling and Industrial Systems

The focus of the exhibition was on solutions for commercial buildings, industrial applications, and data-centre cooling systems. The following models entered the Asian market:

• TPE3 — an intelligent, high-efficiency in-line pump with digital connectivity for system optimisation;
• CME — a horizontal multistage centrifugal pump;
• BMC — a fully sealed multistage centrifugal pump;
• NBGE Backpack — a stainless-steel end-suction pump in a "backpack" configuration.

CME, BMC, and NBGE are designed to ensure reliable heat-transfer-fluid delivery in new-generation CDU and liquid-cooling systems. All four models were featured on the "CIIE New Products" platform of CCTV.

Strategic Agreements

In the presence of the Danish Ambassador to China, Kong Moke, Grundfos signed a series of strategic agreements with partners from the construction and industrial sectors. Areas of cooperation cover:

• procurement for construction projects and energy-efficient retrofits;
• comprehensive water-environment management;
• treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater;
• liquid-cooling infrastructure for computing capacity;
• development of secondary water-supply systems.

Official Visit

On 6 November, the Grundfos booth was visited by Martin Lisegaard, Denmark's Minister of Trade and Competitiveness. In his remarks, he highlighted the company's contribution to Danish–Chinese cooperation and emphasised that local presence, continuous innovation, and close partnership are the foundation for long-term business development. In his words, the trends of water–energy synergy and digitalisation open up additional opportunities for Grundfos in the Chinese market.

Context

At the opening of CIIE, Ding Xuexiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice-Premier of the State Council of the PRC, stated the need to "strengthen innovation support, improve the quality of supply, and promote balanced development in the process of transformation and modernisation." In the cooling and water-supply industry, this is reflected in the joint improvement of water and energy efficiency in buildings, industry, and digital infrastructure.
