Bringing Innovation Home: Recapping the Leading with Water Tour
By Alex Gross
GF launched the innovative Leading with Water Tour at AHR 2025 in Orlando, Fla. The tour recently concluded after visiting 31 states, traveling 24,180 miles, and hosting 71 customer events.
The tour showcased a custom-designed mobile unit after its state-of-the-art Experience Center in Apple Valley, Minn. The mobile unit created a unique educational and discovery space for customers, while promoting the Uponor brand and its products, services, and innovation within the commercial domestic water design and installation sector. This provided customers with an immersive experience in their own communities, fostering meaningful relationships nationwide.
“The tour demonstrated our biggest strength: our people,” said Marlena Pahlman, marketing projects manager at GF Building Flow Solutions Americas. “Their passion, their curiosity, and their commitment to doing more through water were a collection of moments that made the tour such a success.”
The Leading with Water Tour highlighted the following products and services:
Additionally, the tour promoted the newly launched Uponor ChlorFIT® Schedule 80 Corzan® CPVC. GF engineered ChlorFIT for commercial domestic water. The solution delivers exceptional durability and reliability, providing cost and labor efficiency while enhancing sustainability in all commercial projects.
While the tour was underway, publications took note of the unique customer experience on wheels. Mechanical Hub featured the mobile experience on its Appetite for Construction Podcast where Pahlman discussed customers' excitement and the tour's success. In addition, Contractor Magazine highlighted the tour’s unique ability to merge product innovation with relationship building.
The Leading with Water tour concluded in the fall of 2025 with high remarks. GF looks forward to kicking off the 2026 event season at the AHR Expo in Las Vegas. While the mobile unit is on hiatus, you can still connect with our team to see the latest innovations from Uponor in booth C7925.
