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.
