The Swedish company last week hailed the growing importance of the Indian market in its global operations in its annual results.
The project is India’s first complete, integrated edible oil complex, for refining different types of crude oils, such as sunflower and soya bean, into high quality oils. The order, due for completion this year, includes separators, mixers and heat exchangers.
“India has recently become Alfa Laval’s third largest market after the US and China”, said Lars Renström, company president and CEO. “This order confirms the good development we have seen in the country, not the least in the food and vegetable oil industry driven by increased living standard.”
