Strategically located near major travel routes, the new facility opens up opportunities for Alfa Laval to efficiently serve its customer base across the United States. This move will facilitate the expansion of its operations and service capacity in its current Greenwood, Indiana location. With a growing market, this expansion will improve Alfa Laval’s training capabilities, provide a test facility for separation equipment, and provide continuous development of aftersales solutions to customers’ sustainability challenges. Alongside the company’s recent investment in Greer, SC, this strategic development enables Alfa Laval to collaborate more effectively with its customers, while providing quicker access to repairs, spare parts, and expert support to meet the market's growing demands.
Ester Codina, Cluster president of Alfa Laval North America, said: “We’re thrilled to be expanding our presence in Indianapolis. Our dedicated teams have put in tremendous effort over the years to enhance Alfa Laval’s operations in the US, and this new facility represents a significant milestone in our ongoing dedication to our Energy, Food & Water and Marine business in the country.”
Per Sandberg, Alfa Laval's VP Operations, Global Sales, and Service, noted: “The investment and move of the US distribution center to a modern and sustainable logistics facility demonstrates Alfa Laval’s commitment to continue enhancing the customer experience and support future growth in the North American market.”
The new operations center integrates advanced automation technology and smart systems. It is designed to meet Alfa Laval’s ambitious 2030 sustainability goals, operating on heat pump technology for heating and cooling, and incorporating heat recovery systems to improve energy efficiency. With a focus on reducing carbon emissions by 95%, the building will be powered by renewable energy certificates and is future-proofed for solar energy.
With construction underway, the new facility is expected to create 300 jobs in the Indianapolis area over the next 15 years.
