World-leading in three key technologies
Heat transfer. Compact heat exchangers that recycle heat, optimize customers’ energy consumption, cut costs and reduce negative environmental impact. Separation. Separators, decanter centrifuges, filters, strainers and membranes that separate liquids from other liquids and solid particles from liquids or gases. Fluid handling. Pumps, valves, tank cleaning equipment and installation material for industries with stringent hygiene requirements as well as pumping systems specifically for the marine industry and the offshore market.
Three business divisions with customer needs front and centre
The need to heat, cool, transport and separate arises in many industries: food, energy, pharmaceuticals, refineries or petrochemicals – Alfa Laval can help in the majority of them. End customers are reached through the Energy, Food & Water and Marine divisions.
A global supply chain with strong regional presence
Operations handles production-related procurement, distribution and logistics on a global basis and ensures that anything sold by the three divisions is produced and delivered in line with the promise made to the customer.
