As our business continues to thrive in an otherwise struggling economy, the impact of our industry's products and services becomes obvious every time we drink a clean glass of water or fill a car's tank with fuel.
When we received a press release this morning from Godwin Pumps on its Midwest flood relief efforts, I was truly inspired. It is nice to see the human element of our business . . . particularly in the wake of a natural disaster where pumps can provide necessities like clean water and running toilets—things those of us who live in the U.S. so often take for granted.
Read more in the August issue of Pumps & Systems on how Godwin worked with its distributors to deploy 474 pumps to seven Midwestern states, an effort than began within four hours of a call from the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA).
I have no doubt there are many other companies and people in our industry who have aided in the Midwest Flood relief efforts. We would like to hear your stories.
