Heat exchanger plates: Maturity gives us a big lead in a growing industry
A few years ago, AP&T detected a growing interest in new investments in industries with some tie to efficient energy utilization. Since then, everything has been growing at an explosive rate and the heat exchanger plate industry is an entirely different animal. This makes AP&T’s experience in the area an advantage – something that leading industry manufacturers have discovered.
Anyone who is well prepared when an industry suddenly explodes has a big advantage in many respects. When higher energy prices and increased environmental awareness caused the heat exchanger plate market to increase 40-50%, AP&T had already been developing and delivering production equipment for these products for over 20 years. This was an advantage – not only for AP&T, but also for its customers.
Having a technical lead is naturally important to remaining competitive,
but the security we provide heat exchanger plate manufacturers is even more
important.
“We have a mature manufacturing process in which we have control over all
production steps from roller to stacked package,” says AP&T sales and
marketing manager, Per Josefsson.
“The entire process is based on our standardized modules, which produce
reliable production with maximum utilization and availability. In the end,
we know that these are important factors that help our customers remain
successful.”
Just one category of customers who have discovered the advantage of AP&T’s complete production solutions is made up of world-leading producers of heat exchanger plates.
