Alleima Expands Capacity with Major Order for Steam Generator Tubes in the Nuclear Sector
In a strategic move to capitalize on the increasing demand for nuclear energy components, Alleima has announced securing a large order valued at around SEK 530 million for steam generator tubes. The order, placed by one of the world’s foremost suppliers of nuclear power equipment, will support a project in a nuclear power plant located in North America. This significant deal strengthens Alleima’s position as a leading supplier in the global nuclear energy market.
The Growing Demand for Steam Generator Tubes
Steam generator tubes are crucial components used in nuclear power plants to transfer heat from the reactor coolant to the secondary coolant loop. As the world continues to look for reliable, low-carbon energy sources, nuclear power is becoming an increasingly vital part of the global energy mix. This growing reliance on nuclear energy has driven demand for high-quality and advanced materials, including steam generator tubes.
Alleima’s role in this segment highlights its expertise in producing materials capable of withstanding the harsh environments found within nuclear power plants. With rising interest in nuclear energy, both new plants and existing facilities require reliable components that meet stringent safety and performance standards.
Capacity Expansion at Sandviken Facility
To meet this growing demand, Alleima has taken significant steps to expand its production capacity. The company recently announced the reopening of one of its steam generator tube production facilities in Sandviken, Sweden. This facility will play a critical role in fulfilling the large order and ensuring the company’s ability to scale its operations in line with increasing market needs.
The decision to expand capacity reflects Alleima’s long-term commitment to the nuclear sector and its readiness to support the energy transition. With this expansion, Alleima is well-positioned to deliver high-quality products to its customers and strengthen its competitive advantage in the nuclear energy supply chain.
Order Details and Timeline
The large order, which was booked in the first quarter of 2025, will be included in Alleima’s Tube division. The scheduled delivery for this project will take place over two years, with products set to be delivered in 2027 and 2028. These timeframes are aligned with the typical construction and operational timelines for nuclear power plants, where components are often ordered years in advance.
This order marks a significant achievement for Alleima, further bolstering its order book and providing strong delivery visibility for the coming years. Additionally, the company has highlighted that it is engaged in ongoing discussions regarding future projects, indicating potential further growth in this sector.
