DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. -- SWEP, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a world-leading supplier of brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHEs), today announced a partnership with Microchannel Devices (MCD) to expand SWEP's market offering with printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHE).
Both companies provide high-performing heat exchangers designed to optimize system efficiency, reduce footprint, and support more sustainable energy solutions. MCD's printed circuit technology complements SWEP's brazed plate technology and further enhances its portfolio of energy-efficient solutions.
"This partnership provides SWEP access to complementary products, while MCD benefits from accelerated market reach through SWEP's global sales channels and strong customer relationships. Our collaboration is a valuable opportunity to strengthen SWEP's position in existing markets and enhance our ability to serve customers through an expanded BPHE offering," says Ulrika Nordqvist, SWEP President.
SWEP and MCD share a strong commitment to the green energy transition and market development in areas such as hydrogen infrastructure, energy storage, and CO2 applications. The partnership enhances SWEP customer value by leveraging expanded application and technical expertise to meet demanding development requirements, particularly in applications characterized by space constraints, ultra-high working pressures, and extreme temperatures.
Through the buy-resell agreement, SWEP customers will gain access to a broad portfolio of ultra-compact heat transfer solutions through their trusted, long-term business partner, ensuring seamless dialogue and established procurement processes. The expanded PCHE offering is supplied by MCD, an Italy-based specialist in chemical etching, which delivers high-quality, certified PCHEs through its patented diffusion bonding and fully integrated design, production, and testing capabilities.
