MINNEAPOLIS - December 22, 2015 - Pentair plc
(NYSE: PNR), a global company helping its customers produce more
food, energy and efficiencies from each drop of water, and the
Minnesota Vikings today announced that Pentair has been named a
Founding Partner of U.S. Bank Stadium and the Official Sustainable
Water Partner of the Vikings. In an effort to minimize
bottled water use at U.S. Bank Stadium, Pentair-filtered drinking
water will be available at water-filling and drinking stations
throughout the stadium, as well as in the suites and clubs.
"Around the globe, Pentair works to help improve
the quality, quantity and reliability of freshwater delivery, and
we are excited to bring this expertise to U.S. Bank Stadium here in
the Land of 10,000 Lakes," said Randall J. Hogan, Pentair Chairman
and CEO. "This partnership demonstrates our 'top to tap'
capabilities, as our technologies are utilized both in the
treatment of the source water from the Mississippi, as well as at
the point of consumption with the planned water stations."
The Mississippi River, located just blocks away
from U.S. Bank Stadium, is an important water source for the
stadium and the metropolitan area. Pentair's technology is utilized
in a water treatment facility serving Minneapolis that filters and
cleans water from the Mississippi for more than 500,000 residents.
At the stadium, a combination of Pentair's proprietary advanced
filtration technologies will further enhance the taste and quality
of the incoming city water.
"Pentair is well-regarded locally and globally for
its leadership in helping to manage the world's precious water
resources," said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. "We are
thrilled to partner with Pentair to deliver great-tasting, filtered
drinking water to our fans on game day."
As a Founding Partner, Pentair will be featured on
both levels of the South Gate Entrance (the Pentair Gate) including
a lobby experience and wall activation that will help educate
visitors of Pentair's innovative water technologies to address
global water scarcity and quality issues. Pentair is also
collaborating with the Minnesota Vikings on other water concepts
inside U.S. Bank Stadium, as well as at the team's potential future
practice facility.
