Alfa Laval receives major orders on the fast growing marine market in Vietnam
Alfa Laval, a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling, has received some major orders from a Vietnamese shipbuilder. The total order value is approximately MSEK 50 and includes a number of Alfa Laval’s key products. Delivery will take place in 2007 and 2008.
- Vietnam is a rapidly growing market for Alfa Laval and we expect to double sales in 2007. There are many opportunities within the marine industry, breweries and rubber industries, says Alfa Laval’s President and CEO Lars Renström.
The marine industry is gaining ground very fast in Vietnam. The total export value in the sector grew from USD 70 million during 2003 to USD 4.5 billion during 2006. This means of course a large possibility for companies serving the marine industry.
