Alfa Laval strengthens Flemingsberg – establishes itself in a growing city of the future
In May 2025, Alfa Laval moved into its new office and innovation center, spanning approximately 20,000 square meters, together with around 700 employees. At the same time, the restaurant K-märkt opened, further expanding the range of services available in Flemingsberg. The Royal Swedish Opera and Dramaten, Alfa Laval, Restaurant Billmans, and K-märkt all represent important pieces of the puzzle in the development of Flemingsberg.
It’s a warm May day when 700 Alfa Laval employees are welcomed to Flemingsberg with signs, balloons, and friendly faces guiding them to their new office. This will be their new workplace, located at the heart of one of Sweden’s largest urban development projects, with the ambitious goal of reaching 50,000 workers, 50,000 residents, and 50,000 visitors in Flemingsberg by 2050.
“We are very pleased to have established our new premises in Flemingsberg. This expansion represents a significant improvement for our employees, our operations, and our customers. Flemingsberg is now Alfa Laval’s hub for all development of separators within the marine, energy, food, and pharma sectors. We are also establishing our Innovation Centre for pharma here, further reinforcing our commitment to innovation and growth.”
– Peter Nielsen, Alfa Laval’s Site Manager for Flemingsberg and President of the Business Unit High Speed Separators
“We are very happy to welcome Alfa Laval to Flemingsberg and as a tenant of Fabege. Their presence strengthens the area’s position as a dynamic and innovative hub for research and development. We look forward to a continued successful collaboration that contributes to Flemingsberg’s ongoing growth and success.”
– Anna Nyberg, Head of Business Development at Fabege

Our Sound Space – soundscapes in cities
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience an interactive sound installation at the same time as you contribute to research that improves the future of urban planning.
The Our Sound Space installation has now opened at Neo in Flemingsberg, which offers visitors the opportunity to use their smartphones to experiment with different sound environments and explore with soundscapes.
Our Sound Space is part of the Planning for Youth research project that aims to study methods and tools for meaningful participation of the younger demographic groups in participatory planning and placemaking. Romina Rodela is Docent at Södertörn University and project leader for the initiative. ““Historically, children and young people have not been very central in spatial planning. In our project, we want to explore new methods which are better able to capture their voice in spatial planning and placemaking,” says Rodela.
In this case, you use your smartphone to listen to how a new residential area will sound, for example. Which sounds are perceived as positive and which sound environments are less attractive? The idea is to give the planners of the future better tools to include children, young people and people with impaired vision or other functional variations in the planning stages of such projects. “We’ll use Our Sound Space to gather opinions from different groups to establish how effective a tool like this can be. At the same time, the installation is open to all to try out and comment on,” says Rodela. The software itself is developed by researcher Maurizio Goina at KTH and may in future be shared with planners, construction companies and architects.
Mattias Lindén is responsible for Hemsö’s properties in Flemingsberg and believes that installations such as Our Sound Space have the potential to improve the image of the area. “We’re sitting on an underused resource. In courtyards and along walkways there are areas that could be used for temporary art exhibitions – opportunities for as yet undiscovered artists to gain some exposure. We’ve just decided to support the Our Sound Space project. Imagine if people in the future will associate Flemingsberg with exuberant creativity, a place where you experience new and fresh ideas. Our Sound Space can be a small step in that direction,” says Lindén, Senior Property Manager at Hemsö. Our Sound Space runs until 7th March, while the research project will continue for another two years.
