Nicholas Newman, MD of South Africa, gave a short history of
its presence locally. “The first Alfa Laval office was registered
in 1920 in Durban. By 1929 over 120 milking machine plants
had been supplied. Over the past 100 years the company has
experienced many successes across a wide range of industries
covering, fishing, sugar ethanol, wine, fruit juice, power,
and mining. As we evolved and expanded, branches where
opened in Cape Town and South Africa, factories for local
manufacturing and warehouses for stock and spare parts.
The evolution of Alfa Laval has seen many innovations,
acquisitions and investments. Our presence now includes
Angola and Kenya with numerous business partners
ensuring our presence across the African continent.” He
feels particularly proud of the success of the company and
is grateful to staff, customers and business partners. “This
celebration doesn’t only focus on celebrating our proud past,
our focus is on our future as well. We look forward to a new era
of growth to come,” he concluded. RACA
