What we do
Alfa Laval is a listed Swedish manufacturer of systems and components headquartered in Lund, supplying customers in more than 100 countries worldwide. The company manufactures products in three core technologies: heat transfer (plate, tubular and scraped-surface heat exchangers, semi-welded and brazed plate heat exchangers such as the large TS45), separation (separators, decanter centrifuges, filters, screens and membranes) and fluid handling (pumps, valves, tank cleaning and installation technology). Products are manufactured among other things from stainless steel, carbon steel, alloys, copper, aluminum, iron, bronze and plastics; the procurement categories include cutting, welding, assembly as well as casting and forging. The Energy, Food & Pharma and Ocean divisions serve industries ranging from data centers and HVAC to food, dairy and beverage production, pharma, water and wastewater treatment as well as shipping and offshore. In addition, the company offers service and lifecycle support, Connected Services for digital monitoring, a Customer Training Center and the eBusiness platform Alfa Laval Anytime.
