The award celebrates DESMI’s ability to turn ideas into tangible solutions—driven by curiosity, courage, and the willingness to create change. These values are deeply embedded in the company’s approach to innovation, where new concepts are continuously explored, tested, and refined at a high pace.
“We are proud to receive this recognition from Zacco. Innovation at DESMI is not a one-off effort—it is a mindset. It requires curiosity to challenge the status quo, courage to pursue new paths, and the willingness to create change that delivers real value to our customers”, says Rasmus Folsø, Senior Vice President – New Green Solutions.
Zacco highlights DESMI’s systematic and strategic work with innovation, particularly the company’s ability to combine strong product design capabilities with rapid iteration processes. This ensures that new solutions are quickly developed, tested, and brought to market.
A notable example is the development of DESMI’s deep-well fuel pump, where both technical and Intellectual Property approaches have been explored in parallel. This multi-track development strategy reflects both technical depth and a clear understanding of the importance of integrating intellectual property into the innovation process. The result is a product that technically and commercially delivers the best solution, and at the same time avoids infringement of any existing patents while still presenting sufficient novelty and innovative solutions to result in several patents.
Founded in 1834, DESMI is a global provider of advanced pump and flow solutions for industries including Marine, Aquaculture, Industry and Defense. Headquartered in Noerresundby, Denmark, DESMI serves customers worldwide with a commitment to innovation and performance—guided by its purpose to Make life flow.
