Expansion with heat exchangers in North America

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling - has acquired Standard Refrigeration, a leading supplier of shell-and-tube heat exchangers

Standard Refrigeration, based in Melrose Park, Chicago (Illinois) and Grand Prairie, Dallas (Texas) supplies shell-and-tube heat exchangers for a variety of refrigeration, air conditioning and industrial applications in the North American market.

"By acquiring Standard Refrigeration we are increasing our presence in the North American commercial refrigeration and industrial markets" says Lars Renstrom, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group: "Standard Refrigeration will be integrated into Alfa Laval in order to capture synergies such as a wider product portfolio combined with an enhanced market presence".

Standard Refrigeration was founded in 1922, and throughout its history has built a solid reputation for providing heat exchangers for refrigeration applications that are not only innovative, but designed and manufactured to the highest standards of performance and quality.

In 2007, the company had annual sales of about SEK 220 million and some 185 employees in the two locations in the US: it will be consolidated into Alfa Laval from June 1.
