Both grades offer outstanding durability and resistance to harsh environments, making them ideal for demanding applications where traditional materials may not suffice. Their superior properties help reduce maintenance and downtime, extend equipment life, enable lighter and more efficient designs, and lower the total cost of ownership. As a result, SAF™ 2906 and SAF™ 3006 significantly enhance the sustainability and efficiency across various aspects in industrial operations.
India has been a key market for Alleima since 1983. With investments in Mehsana, Gujarat of 180 MSEK between 2019 and 2023. The addition of cutting-edge heat exchanger and tubing lines, the Mehsana plant has become a critical manufacturing hub for the region. The facility’s advanced testing and quality assurance capabilities support a wide range of demanding industrial applications. Aligned with the government’s “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiatives, the local production of SAF™ 2906 and SAF™ 3006 supports India’s growing need for high-performance materials essential to energy transition and strengthen industrial self-reliance.
“As one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial economies, India represents a significant long-term opportunity for advanced materials. By producing these high-performance alloys in Mehsana, we are strengthening local supply, supporting India’s industrial ambitions, and enabling customers to operate more productively and sustainably,” said Sharath Satish, President, Business Unit Tube Asia Pacific (APAC) at Alleima.
