Goulds Pumps commemorated its 175th anniversary of leading industrial pump innovation with a celebratory event and check presentations of $33,400 in total contributions divided amongst The United Way of Seneca County, Ronald McDonald House, National Women’s Hall of Fame, and Habitat for Humanity. The event on Wednesday highlighted the company’s appreciation for the support of its employees and the community, featuring a car show, health fair, food, live music, and presentations of the company’s philanthropic impact by each nonprofit organization.
In celebration of longstanding partnerships, leaders present from each organization were bestowed with significant donations to be used towards current and future community support initiatives. In addition to its commitment to charitable contributions and corporate volunteerism over the last several years, Goulds Pumps also encourages employees to allocate funds to a charity of their choice each pay period.
“On this notable anniversary year, we are proud to recognize the role our employees and the community have played in our enduring success with this commemorative celebration in their honor,” said Fernando Roland, president of ITT Industrial Process. “Our roots run deep in Seneca Falls, and we are proud to use this momentous milestone as an opportunity to support the community and our neighbors in need.”
Since its founding in 1848 by Seabury S. Gould, Goulds Pumps products and solutions have transformed from the first all-metal well pump to the highly intelligent and reliable industrial solutions and pumping technology that the company provides to oil and gas, mining, power generation, chemical, pulp and paper, and general industrial facilities, today. It remains one of ITT Industrial Process’ oldest legacy brands.
