Whilst pharmaceutical companies work their magic to make medicines that cure or manage diseases, and the biotechnology industry harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet. We, at Alfa Laval believe in creating better everyday conditions for the Pharma & Biotech industry so together, we can help even more people towards a healthier and happier life. In 1879, Gustaf de Laval demonstrated the world’s first separator in Stockholm. This in turn was the beginning of Alfa Laval, as we know it today. In 1888 we sold our first pump. This was the beginning of the development of a range of products designed to support the process of fluid handling, our pumps are part of a wide range of products delivering sustainable performance to the pharma and biotech industry, which in turn contributes to global health and well-being. In 1938, we built our first heat exchanger, aiming to improve energy efficiency and lowering the need for fossil fuels. As the world’s demand for energy continues to increase, Alfa Laval continues to develop heat exchangers that are more efficient than alternative technologies, reducing costs, and carbon emissions.
