Grundfos saves Christmas with ‘boost’ for world’s largest toy operation With only weeks to go before Christmas, operations are back running at full capacity at Santa’s workshop, thanks to Grundfos. Several major issues recently led to a temporary halt of operations at the North Pole facility, and at its most critical time of the year. Most notably, an old pump used to heat the elves’ workshop had failed, causing unsafe working conditions for the elves. But it wasn’t just the elves that were facing temperature issues. Global warming has been on Santa’s radar for a long time, and now it has begun to affect his reindeer. Rising average temperatures have made the reindeer uncomfortably warm, requiring Santa to build

a facility for them to stay in sub- zero temperatures throughout the entire year. In order to help combat his rising carbon footprint, Santa took these heating and cooling issues as an
opportunity to optimise his HVAC system using the latest technology. This is where he turned to Grundfos as its MAGNA3 circulator pump was the perfect solution. MAGNA3 pumps are extremely flexible and reliable, have low noise levels, a long lifespan and no maintenance requirements. Every detail of the MAGNA3 is designed to boost efficiency, so not only does it solve Santa’s issues, it also lowers both his operating costs and carbon footprint. “It has been quite an exciting time at Grundfos, working with such a global figure. We’re delighted that we can help Santa and his team get back to doing what they love,” said Liam Mc Dermott, General Manager, Grundfos Ireland. So now Santa’s workers are happy; the elves are back at work making toys; and the reindeer are comfortable again, resting up for their big night ahead. From everyone at Grundfos we wish you a very happy Christmas and new year.
