Alfa Laval receives another large order for new successful product

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has received an order for the successful high efficiency plate heat
exchanger T50. The equipment will be installed in a petrochemical plant in Saudi
Arabia. The total value is about SEK 190 million. Delivery will take place in
2009.

Alfa Laval's plate heat exchangers form an integrated part of the plant's
central cooling system in which seawater is used to provide the cooling
capacity. 
“The demand for the plate heat exchanger T50 has been very strong since it was
launched end of 2005, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of Alfa Laval. New
products are fundamental for profitable growth and we have increased our
investments in research and development with 50 percent since 2004. We focus our
investments on areas were we see structural growth, such as energy and energy
related industries.”
