Alfa Laval, a global leader in heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, will officially unveil its newly expanded La Porte Service Center at an Open House on Wednesday, January 28. The expansion highlights the company’s ongoing investment in the Gulf Coast’s industrial base, workforce, and long-term economic growth.
The 5,000-square-foot facility, operational since November 2025, has quickly become a critical hub for Gulf Coast customers. Built to handle large-scale Welded Heat Exchanger service, the center now features increased hook height to accommodate the largest Compabloc models and two 25-ton cranes, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient service for energy, chemical, and process industries.
“Our customers expect the best when they invest in Alfa Laval technology,” said Ester Codina, President of Alfa Laval North America.
“This expansion ensures they get it, not just in the advanced equipment itself, but also through the expertise of our service advisors and the capabilities of our team. From helping customers develop optimized maintenance strategies to executing high-quality service efficiently, we are delivering maximum uptime, minimal operational disruption, and reduced repair costs.”
Servicing Welded Heat Exchangers requires specialized knowledge and capabilities, and the La Porte Service Center delivers. Customers now have access to top-tier technology, expert service advisors, and high-quality execution—all under one roof.
The Open House will showcase behind-the-scenes tours, live demonstrations, and direct access to technical experts and leadership, inviting customers, partners, and local media to experience the facility firsthand.
The La Porte expansion is part of Alfa Laval’s broader U.S. service network, which now totals 251,000 square feet nationwide. This includes the Houston Greenspoint Service Center, where 20,000 square feet are dedicated to Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger service, further boosting speed, proximity, and technical expertise for Gulf Coast customers.
Sustainability is central to the La Porte facility, with energy-efficient systems, environmentally responsible practices, and best-in-class operational protocols integrated throughout.
The expansion reflects Alfa Laval’s mission to help industries operate efficiently while minimizing environmental impact, proving that high performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.
