Alfa Laval was founded as AB Separator and the current name was introduced in 1963. Between 1991 and 2000 Alfa Laval was a part of the Tetra Pak Group. In 1991, Alfa Laval Agri, a company producing diary farming equipment was split from Alfa Laval. When Alfa Laval was sold, Alfa Laval Agri remained a part of the Tetra Pak group and was renamed DeLaval, after the company's founder.
In October 2003, Alfa Laval acquired bioKinetics, the life science division of Kinetics Group, providing the company with a position in the North American market for integrated factory-scale process solutions[1] in mammalian cell culture. The resulting subsidiary, Alfa Laval Biokinetics (aka Biokinetics), is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is a member of the Pennsylvania Bio commerce organization.[2]
