“It is a pleasure to take a big order within brewery”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “This order confirms that increased living standard in Brazil is driving demand for beverages. We have a solid history in delivering hygienic products and solutions to breweries all over the world.”
