State-of-the-art heat exchanger tube facility
India is experiencing strong growth in various industries . A new heat exchanger tube facility will help service demanding sectors such as ( petro ) chemical and renewable energy .
Alleima started the expansion of its Mehsana manufacturing facility in India in 2019 . Now , the final phase of the project is fully completed and operational , with the formal launch of a new heat exchanger tube factory . This new facility will enhance the capacity and capabilities of the production unit to produce advanced alloys in application tubing like heat exchanger tubes for critical applications in the chemical , petrochemical , and renewable energy segments .
Economic bright spot India currently stands as a global economic bright spot , emerging as a key player across various sectors . This growth is driving a significantly increased domestic demand for chemical and petrochemical products , the rapid transition towards renewables , and an increased shift towards localisation of manufacturing . Alleima launched its state-of-the-art heat exchanger facility in its mill located in Mehsana , Gujarat in November . It will enable Alleima to produce advanced alloys in heat exchanger tubing locally to meet the increasing demand for the high valued added tubes to India ’ s chemical and petrochemical , renewable , and other industrial segments , and serve as a production base for exports to Asia . With the completion of its Hydraulic and Instrumentation ( H & I ) facility earlier this year , the Mehsana mill has now completed Alleima ’ s three-phase expansion in production capacity and infrastructure . Göran Björkman , President and CEO of Alleima , said : “ In 2019 , we embarked on a strategic initiative to enhance our capacity and capabilities in growth markets , culminating in a three-phase expansion for India , which included
a cold finishing heat exchanger tube manufacturing line that opened in 2020 , a H & I tubing factory in March 2023 , and now this brand-new heat exchanger tube facility . This expansion will increase heat exchanger tube capacity and capabilities to produce advanced alloys positioning us to capitalise on the growth opportunities arising from India ’ s chemical and petrochemical industries over the next decade . It will also facilitate the transition to the renewable energy segments and enable us to capture the opportunities from the increased demand for locally manufactured products in India ,” says Carl von Schantz , President of Tube division at Alleima .
