Alleima to increase capacity for steam generator tubing for the Nuclear segment
The expansion includes the refurbishment and reopening of one of Alleima’s SGT facilities. This will increase capacity and strengthen Alleima’s capability to seize growth opportunities, while maintaining its leading position in SGT for full scale Nuclear Power Plants and to be the frontier supplier for Small Modular Reactor (SMR) tubing.
The total investment of approximately SEK 330 million will be carried out between 2024-2026 and is expected to increase capacity for steam generator tubes by approximately 60%, with production ramp up starting at the end of 2026.
“This is a unique opportunity to increase our capacity relatively quickly and meet the demand from our customers in the Nuclear segment. We have recently delivered the first commercial order for steam generator tubes for SMR:s, and we expect this technology to grow as the need for fossil free energy continues to increase. Through this facility, we will be able to serve both conventional nuclear power plants and emerging technologies like SMR”, says Göran Björkman, President and CEO.
Alleima is one of the leading suppliers of SGT with more than 50 years’ experience from the Nuclear industry. The facility that will now be reopened was mothballed when a new factory was inaugurated in 2012. The investment will create employment for around 90 additional people.
