Alfa Laval acquires leading service provider in North America

Alfa Laval Group – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has acquired a well established service company in USA, a leading service provider on the North American market specialized in plate heat exchangers. The company will add sales of about SEK 100 million and will be consolidated in the Alfa Laval Group from January 6, 2010.

“The acquisition is another step in the ambition to serve the market with alternative offerings,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “The Parts and Service business is of high priority and we have during 2009 seen its resilience.” The company will remain a separate organization as they will continue to offer their own products and services to the industry, under their own brand. Did you know that… that the aftermarket value for a plate heat exchanger over its lifetime, depending of type and application is one to seven times the value of new sales?
