“With numerous applications being used to develop and produce our products, systems and solutions, we can already be regarded as a true AI pioneer”, explains Oliver Hermes, President & Global CEO of the Wilo Group. “Without a doubt, an outstanding example of this is our high-tech factory at the Group headquarters in Dortmund, the Smart Factory.” However, Wilo is also helping to shape the sustainable future of AI outside of its own laboratories and factories. Peter Glauner, Regional CEO & CSO of Wilo Europe says: “Our pumps and pump systems are used throughout the entire AI value chain, for example, for cooling data centres.”

“AI is a key technology for ensuring the competitiveness of Germany and Europe as a location for innovation”, says Dr Florian Schütz, Managing Director of KI Park e. V. “What’s more, it is a tool for tackling the major challenges of our time and achieving our sustainability goals.” Schütz therefore finds it particularly pleasing to welcome the sustainability company Wilo among the ranks of association members. “We are looking forward to engaging in dialogue with Wilo and are certain that we have found a valuable partner in this new member. Wilo believes in the transformative power of AI, as do we.”
