Alfa Laval Secures SEK 1.1bn Biofuel Order

Alfa Laval AB’s shares increased by approximately 1 % after the company announced its largest‑ever contract, valued at SEK 1.1 billion, to supply biofuel technology for a new biorefinery in Brazil. The Swedish firm will provide Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) pre‑treatment technology to Acelen for the biorefinery, with the order to be executed in phases and completed by the end of 2029. This contract represents Alfa Laval’s biggest single order to date and is expected to feed into its second‑quarter results. Citi analysts, citing the new order, now project total group orders for Q2 at SEK 19.3 billion, roughly 7 % above market expectations, with food and pharmaceutical segment orders estimated at SEK 7.4 billion, 15 % above consensus. The analysts’ sensitivity analysis suggests the order will materially boost the company’s order book and earnings outlook.
