Alfa Laval will work with JB Systems, a national supplier of fluid recovery and filtration products – to further penetrate an array of industries including manufacturing and machining, metalworking and hydraulics.

Based in LaGrange, Georgia, JB Systems will offer Alfa Laval’s extended range of efficient high-speed separators, decanters and self-cleaning fuel and lube oil filters to the marketplace – covering Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

We are excited to be the new representative of Alfa Laval for this area,” comments Mike Franks, CEO, JB Systems. “We’re extremely pleased to partner with JB Systems to gain additional opportunities in our key markets, leveraging JB Systems’ presence and filtration and separation expertise in the marketplace,” states Scot Seifert, Director, Fluids and Utilities, Alfa Laval.
