"Trelleborg reports a satisfactory result for the quarter, albeit influenced by
the weaker economy. The sales trend was relatively favorable in Asia and North
America, while sales in Europe was generally weak. Cash flow was strong, due
primarily to efficient inventory management.

We continue to invest to improve our positions in high-growth countries and
selected segments. For example, in Brazil, during the quarter we acquired a
printing blankets business and inaugurated a facility for manufacturing products
for deep-sea oil and gas extraction.

The joint venture TrelleborgVibracoustic has been operational since the
beginning of the third quarter. The integration of the two operations has
started in a good way and will be intensified to secure the many benefits that
the joint venture will bring.

We clearly see that the underlying demand trend is negative in several of our
market segments and geographies. During the quarter, measures to adjust
operations to the weaker market, has been implemented. This work will continue
in the fourth quarter,” says President and CEO Peter Nilsson.
