Pump Appreciation Day recognizes ‘heart of industry’

Seneca Falls, NY – As the second-most common machine in all of industry (after electric motors), pumps are at the heart of everything. The world’s food, fuel, water and electricity are all processed and transported by pumps. To recognize this technology that is the heart of modern manufacturing, ITT Corporation’s Goulds Pumps brand observed the second-annual Pump Appreciation Day on April 9, 2013, to raise awareness of the value of pumps and the people and organizations that design, apply, install and service them.

In conjunction with Pump Appreciation Day, ITT Goulds Pumps donated $25,000 to the international Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Program, supported by the American Heart Association and its global partners. Events held on the second Tuesday of April each year include public recognition for recipients of the Heart of Industry and Pulse of Industry Awards, as well as open-house celebrations, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training sessions and other educational events organized by the company’s sales team and distribution network.
