Agreement: Alfa Laval processing equipment to get Beijer HMIs

25 September 2008

Beijer Electronics Products AB and Alfa Laval have signed a long-term agreement to ‘jointly prepare a standard [operator interface] solution for the processing equipment that Alfa Laval currently sells worldwide.’ The agreement covers Beijer Electronics´ current operator panels and new software.

Alfa Laval is a global supplier with operations in over 100 countries. The corporation supplies specialist products and process technology solutions based on the key technologies of heat transfer, separation and fluid handling.

According to Fredrik Jönsson, Beijer Electronics´ CEO, Beijer Electronics´ ‘technology and global presence were decisive in the choice of vendor. Alfa Laval is a new and important account for us, and we’re proud they chose us as their main supplier of operator panels. We assign significant resources to develop competitive solutions for our OEM customers; our strengths are in specialist skills, flexibility and a high service level.’

The project has begun, and delivery of the first operator panels tailored for Alfa Laval´s design and functionality is scheduled for late 2008. Beijer Electronics is also, simultaneously, developing its own solutions for processing equipment worldwide.
