Alfa Laval’s Tranter brand intends to consolidate its manufacturing of welded heat exchangers


Alfa Laval Group – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and
fluid handling – has today announced that Tranter will initiate structural
changes to secure long-term competitiveness for its welded heat exchanger
business in Europe. The initiative is part of the savings program announced by
Alfa Laval in October 2014.
Tranter, a group of companies within the Alfa Laval Group, intends to
consolidate its European manufacturing footprint of welded heat exchangers to
the existing manufacturing site in Schopfheim, Germany. The intention is to
close the site in Artern, Germany, by July 31 2015. The change will affect about
70 employees.

“Tranter’s welded heat exchanger business is important and this consolidation is
necessary to stay competitive in the longer term,” says Lars Renström, President
and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

Tranter will now actively work to minimize the negative impact for the affected
employees.

estimated to reach a level of savings of SEK 300 million on an annual basis
during the fourth quarter of 2015?
