I cannot believe that my position as editor of pme allowed me to visit Europe for the first time in my life. Grundfos, a worldwide pump manufacturer, flew a group of media members to meet company executives, including new CEO Mads Nipper (who previously spent 25 years with LEGO, a fellow Danish company), and tour the company's operations in Bjerringbro, Denmark, and Tatabanya, Hungary. To read more about Grundfos, the company's product lines, and its outlook for engineers and the commercial sectors, please turn to page 34. After digesting plenty of information and beautiful sights (particularly in Budapest along the Danube River), and enjoying incredible meals and the gracious hospitality of our hosts, what impressed me the most was the Danish and Hungarians' understanding and capability of speaking English.
