The Gorman-Rupp Company (Gorman-Rupp) has announced a change in the format of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (‘Annual Meeting’), from in-person to virtual-only meeting.

2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

As previously announced, the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. EDT.
