Rising Star Award

SPONSOR

World Pumps is proud to sponsor this year's Rising Star Award.
Bringing new talent into the pump industry and keeping young employees motivated to stay there is a major challenge for all. Without the support and incentive to grow, there will be no technical innovations of products or projects.
Today’s rising stars will be at the heart of our industry's contributions of the future and form the core talent of the top pump manufacturers of tomorrow.
This is why World Pumps is honoured to sponsor the ‘Rising Star Award’ at the Pump Industry Awards.
