Alfa Laval marked its 100th anniversary in Japan

Alfa Laval marked its 100th anniversary in Japan with a celebration at the World Expo 2025 Osaka, emphasizing the company's longstanding contributions to sustainability and industrial modernization through its heat transfer technologies. The event took place on 9–10 July at the Nordic Pavilion, where Alfa Laval hosted Japanese customers and partners.

Since introducing its first centrifugal separator to the Japanese market in 1925, Alfa Laval has played a significant role in Japan’s industrial evolution. While the early decades focused on dairy and marine applications, the 1960s and 1970s saw a major shift with the local manufacturing of marine separators and plate heat exchangers, establishing heat transfer as a core part of the company’s offering in Japan.

Over the years, Alfa Laval has expanded its infrastructure with dedicated service centers and testing facilities. The company’s heat exchangers have supported a wide range of applications, helping optimize energy use and improve efficiency across sectors, including marine, energy, and food processing.

“By scaling existing solutions, we contribute not only to our own targets in Alfa Laval but also to global sustainability goals,” said Anna Celsing, Head of Sustainability at Alfa Laval. “This approach allows us to maximize resource utilization and drive meaningful progress across the value chain.”

Today, Alfa Laval operates four service centers in Japan—Shonan, Osaka, Chugoku, and Kyushu—supporting customers with its advanced heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling solutions.
