VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, Sep 22, 2025 – Dassault Systèmes has announced that Grundfos has implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to drive digital transformation across its commercial building services, domestic building services, industry, and water utility divisions.
In a multiyear agreement1, Grundfos will use Dassault Systèmes’ portfolio of industrial equipment industry solution experiences based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to improve product lifecycle management and expand its services business. About 3,500 users will work with virtual twins that combine modeling, simulation, data science, and AI. These tools will support collaboration, upsurge productivity, improve traceability, reduce operating costs, shorten time to market, and create opportunities for new business models.
The U.N. has declared a Water Action Decade to improve access to safe water for billions of people. Grundfos’ use of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports this goal through digital transformation. For more than 40 years, Grundfos has used Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA applications to design products that move and treat water. The company is shifting its solutions to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The platform gives Grundfos visibility of its operations, predictive maintenance tools, performance analytics, and a digital thread across the product lifecycle. These capabilities help the company develop sustainable solutions.
“Grundfos’ purpose is to pioneer solutions to the world’s water and climate challenges and improve quality of life for people. To achieve it, we are focusing our business on sustainability and intelligent solutions to innovate differently, operate efficiently, and lead the market. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud supports this strategy with technology that has driven sustainable change across many industries. It also further deepens our long-standing relationship with Dassault Systèmes that has been built on a shared commitment to improve quality of life for people,” said Björn Axling, head of PLM, Grundfos.
“By creating a virtual twin of the water lifecycle on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Grundfos embodies our 3D UNIV+RSES vision, accelerating innovation, collaboration and sustainability in managing the planet’s most valuable resource, while setting a powerful example for the entire sector,” said Philippe Bartissol, vice president, industrial equipment industry, Dassault Systèmes.
