Alfa Laval wins SEK 65 million food order in India
Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has received an order for a complete solution to a vegetable oil plant in India. The order value is about SEK 65 million and delivery is scheduled for 2012.
The order includes a variety of Alfa Laval products such as separators, mixers and heat exchangers and will be used for refining different types of crude oils – e.g. soya bean – into high quality oils.
“We continue to see a good development in India”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “The latest order confirms the positive trend in the country’s food and vegetable oil industry.”
Did you know… that the Indian edible oil industry is expected to grow 6% annually, and reach 20 million tonnes of consumption by 2015[1]. The growth in India and other developing countries has been driven by increased living standards and a growing population.
