Alfa Laval’s Tranter Brand Intends to Consolidate Its Manufacturing of Welded Heat Exchangers

Regulatory News:

Alfa Laval Group (STO:ALFA) – 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 Renstr�m, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

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