en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 3, Swedish company Alleima held a commissioning ceremony for its Tube Mill 2026 production facility in Sandviken. The facility includes an upgrade of the steam generator tube production line and its restart after a decade-long hiatus, increasing the company's overall production capacity by approximately 60%.

Alleima CEO Göran Björkman stated that this move aims to meet the growing demand from traditional nuclear power plants and small modular reactors, and is a core component of the company's strategy.

In an interview, Björkman revealed that the company has already delivered contracts for some small modular reactors and is engaged in R&D collaborations with multiple advanced modular reactor developers, covering various technological pathways such as helium-cooled, lead-cooled, sodium-cooled, and molten salt reactors. Carl von Schantz, President of the Tube Division, pointed out that next-generation advanced reactors require specialized tubes capable of adapting to different cooling methods and technologies, making R&D investment crucial. He stated that global customers need companies like Alleima to invest in capacity to support their growth plans.

Companies attending the commissioning ceremony included Doosan Enerbility, NuScale Power, Rolls-Royce SMR, and Westinghouse Electric. Formerly known as Sandvik Materials Technology, Alleima has been involved in the nuclear energy supply chain for over 60 years, with products covering steam generator tubes, nuclear fuel cladding tubes, and other nuclear-grade components. Since 1964, the company has supplied tube bundles to over 400 steam generators in more than 20 countries and has provided over 60 million meters of nuclear fuel tubes for more than 100 reactors.
