Alleima continues to strengthen its position in the Chinese market by inaugurating its production mill in Zhenjiang – an investment of SEK 255M (RMB 193M). This investment coincides with 40 years of Alleima presence in China and marks an important milestone in supporting the growing demand for high-quality tubular products for industries like chemical and petrochemical, hydrogen, pulp and paper, and medical. With this investment, Alleima will double its production capacity, broaden its product range, employ additional employees, and enable shorter lead times for customers across China and Asia.
Alleima, a global manufacturer of high-value-added products in advanced stainless steels, traces its origins back to 1862 in Sandviken, Sweden. The company was among the first Swedish industrial companies to establish operations in China. Since 1985, Alleima has continued its expansion in China. This investment includes a 12,500 m² cold-finishing mill, it is doubling Alleima’s production capacity in China and making it possible to introduce a premium portfolio of application tubing products.
In 2023, Alleima announced a major investment of SEK 255M (RMB 193M) in a facility in China to meet the growing demand from sectors like chemical and petrochemical, hydrogen, pulp and paper, and medical. The expanded facility will now manufacture high-performance tubular products, such as heat exchanger tubes, as well as high-temperature, composite, and hydrogen refuelling tubes previously imported. This investment broadens Alleima’s advanced tubular portfolio in Asia and strengthens its ability to serve customers locally, while operating under sustainable manufacturing principles that enhance process efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
