Franklin Electric Shares Global Water Perspectives Through Art Exhibit

Fort Wayne, IN – September 2026 – Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) is supporting arts in the community by sharing its corporate collection of environmentally minded Edward Burtynsky photographs for a special exhibit titled “Water” at the University of Saint Francis. The loan coincides with the company’s sponsorship of the public exhibit, which runs from Aug. 24 through Sept. 17 in the school’s Rolland Center Weatherhead Gallery.

The Burtynsky collection, which is permanently displayed throughout the company’s Fort Wayne headquarters, features photographs of major water infrastructure resources, hydroelectric projects, aquaculture operations and agricultural irrigation systems. Burtynsky is regarded as a leader in modern environmental imagery and contemporary photography. His work is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Tate Modern in London, among others.

“As part of our corporate space, these photographs have served as a reminder of how the Franklin Electric team makes water possible around the world,” said Joe Ruzynski, CEO of Franklin Electric. “Now, we’re excited to share them with the Fort Wayne community. We hope they serve as a catalyst for meaningful conversations about stewardship, sustainability and responsible water use.”

Through Franklin Electric’s support, the Saint Francis exhibition and related public events are free and open to the community. For details on exhibit hours, special events and location, visit the event link here.

Supporting the arts and education has been a part of the company’s community commitment for decades. The Franklin Electric Charitable and Educational Foundation offers scholarships to college-bound high school seniors and contributes annually to non-profit organizations in communities where the company operates, including Fort Wayne.
