Trelleborg further strengthens its position in precision seals in the US

The Trelleborg Group, through the Trelleborg Sealing Solutions business area,
has acquired the privately owned US seal distributor Sealing Solutions Inc.,
which has about 40 employees and annual sales of approximately SEK 100 M.

Sealing Solutions Inc., with its headquarters in Colmar, Pennsylvania, is a
leading US distributor of Trelleborg's and other suppliers' sealing products,
primarily to the aerospace industry and industrial OEM companies. The business
has positioned itself with special expertise that offers deliveries integrated
into the customers' production processes.

“Sealing Solutions is a well-managed, profitable and growing player that, in
combination with our earlier acquisitions this year, will further strengthen our
distribution in North America. This acquisition will give us valuable new
customer contacts among, for instance, aerospace systems manufacturers, jet
engine manufacturers and industrial OEM customers. Furthermore, we will benefit
from the company's exemplary inventory procedures and capacity for integrated
deliveries,” says Claus Barsøe, President, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions.
