Alfa Laval Wins SEK 125 Million Energy Efficiency Order

LUND, Sweden, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling - has won an order to supply Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers to a petrochemical plant in China. The order has a value of approximately SEK 125 million of which SEK 65 million was booked late December, 2019, and the remaining SEK 60 million in January, in the Welded Heat Exchanger unit of the Energy Division.
