~ Recognition highlights WEG’s role as a strategic partner committed to innovation, quality and sustainability ~

The global motor and drive manufacturer, WEG, has received the prestigious Global Supplier Award for 2024 from Alfa Laval, marking a significant milestone in the collaboration between the two companies. The award highlights WEG’s outstanding contribution to Alfa Laval’s global supply chain, where its high-quality, energy-efficient products, dependable service and commitment to sustainability have consistently supported key industrial operations around the world.

Alfa Laval is a Swedish multinational and global leader in heat transfer, separation and fluid handling technologies. Serving industries like energy, marine and food and beverage, Alfa Laval is recognised for its advanced engineering solutions that support sustainable development and industrial efficiency across the globe.

Presented annually, the Global Supplier Award celebrates outstanding supplier performance in Alfa Laval’s international network. Nominees are assessed against stringent criteria including product quality, delivery precision and alignment with sustainability goals.

WEG’s ability to meet and exceed these expectations has positioned it as a standout partner in Alfa Laval’s strategic supply chain. In addition to its strong environmental credentials, the award also recognises the efficiency of WEG’s global team, including its ability to offer flexible solutions tailored to customer needs and its proven track record in delivering products on time and to specification.

WEG’s vertically integrated production model was also a major factor in its selection for the award. WEG designs and produces nearly all of the key components used in its energy-efficient electric motors and automation technologies, from castings to windings to final assembly. This comprehensive in-house control allows for greater efficiency, high quality and traceability throughout the manufacturing process.

For customers like Alfa Laval, this vertical integration offers significant advantages. It not only ensures a high level of reliability and operational resilience, but also helps reduce environmental impact across the value chain. As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) increasingly prioritise decarbonisation, working with suppliers who operate sustainable and tightly controlled manufacturing processes is critical to achieving net zero targets.

“The Global Supplier Award from Alfa Laval is a significant honour for WEG,” said Anders Näzell, managing director at WEG Scandinavia. “Sustainability is central to our business strategy. Our vertically integrated production model means that we can deliver energy-efficient products with reduced environmental impact. This is increasingly valued by our global partners seeking to meet their own environmental commitments.”

WEG’s extensive portfolio of electric motors, drives, and automation technologies supports Alfa Laval’s sustainability and operational goals. This is underpinned by a strong and longstanding commitment to innovation, process optimisation and responsible manufacturing. As WEG expands globally, this focus reinforces its reputation as a reliable, agile and forward-thinking supplier to the global industrial market.To learn more about WEG’s motors and drives, visit its website.
