Company history
[edit]Alfdex was founded in 2002 as a joint venture by the two Swedish companies Alfa Laval and Haldex,[2] therefore the name Alfdex. Alfa Laval had a separating technology which was first tested on marine diesel engines.[citation needed] Alfa Laval started to investigate the possibilities of creating a similar product for truck engines. Alfa Laval and Haldex became partners and the result was the founding of the co-joint trademark Alfdex in 2002.
In 2004 the first Alfdex separators were sold to Volvo Diesel Truck Engines in South Korea.[3]
Haldex Concentric won the 2009 Supplier Innovation Award from Deere & Company for its Alfdex separator technology.[4]
In 2010 Alfdex initiated its deliveries to John Deere.[citation needed]
In 2011 Concentric took over Haldex's share of the Alfdex shares.[5]
Alfdex has about 100 employees in Sweden, in Tumba and Landskrona.
