Alfa Laval AB (publ) Interim report July 1 - Septe

“We report a stable quarter. Order intake was SEK 7.4 billion during the third quarter and thereby the slightly higher level that was achieved during the previous quarter was confirmed. Process Technology achieved a record quarter, driven by Energy & Environment and Process Industry. Marine & Diesel decreased as expected, due to the non-repeat of large orders for exhaust gas cleaning and ballast water treatment. Latin America showed good growth due to large orders within oil & gas, marine and vegetable oil. The U.S. reported continued growth, with an especially good development within the oil and gas sector, despite lack of resources at customers. In Asia a positive development was seen for all three divisions and China’s growth continued, lifted by large orders.” Lars Renström, President and CEO Summary: third quarter Order intake increased by 4 percent* to SEK 7,447 (7,288) million.
