Swedish steel giant Alleima AB has opened its new tube plant in China

Swedish steel producer Alleima AB has doubled its local production capacity by commissioning the second phase of its cold-working facility in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, eastern China.

Swedish steel giant Alleima AB has opened its new tube plant in China

The company aims to shorten delivery times for its Asian customers and supply high-quality tube products with the new facility.

The expanded 12,500-square-meter plant was built with an investment of 193 million yuan (approximately USD 27.2 million). It will produce high-performance tubular products serving sectors such as petrochemicals, hydrogen energy, pulp and paper, and healthcare—including high-temperature and hydrogen refueling tubes that were previously imported.

The new plant is powered by solar energy, and the company uses more than 80% recycled steel. Alleima AB targets a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.

Carl von Schantz, President of Alleima AB’s Tube Division, said: “Over the past seven years, we have seen impressive development in the Asia region, with strong revenue growth in the chemical and petrochemical segment.” The company’s President and CEO, Goran Bjorkman, emphasized that the capacity expansion and wider product portfolio strengthen their ability to supply products locally in Asia and aim to serve China’s strong and growing market.
