Alfa Laval further strengthens its presence in South Korea, acquires local
system builder

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has acquired Onnuri Industrial Machinery Co., Ltd., a South Korean
system provider to the shipbuilding and diesel power markets. The company had
sales of about SEK 150 million in 2008 and some 40 employees.

The acquisition is in line with Alfa Laval Group's strategy and adds both
presence and a complementary channel to the shipbuilding and diesel power
markets.
“By acquiring Onnuri, we increase our local presence which makes us even more
fit to meet demands from the important Asian shipbuilding and engine builder
markets,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “We
also get access to marine, as well as diesel engine, system building
competence.”
Onnuri will remain a separate company as it continues to offer its own systems
under the Onnuri brand. 

Did you know that that Alfa Laval has been present in South Korea for 30 years
and that the order intake in South Korea has tripled during the last five years?
