Trelleborg acquires agricultural tire business in Australia

Trelleborg has, through its business area Trelleborg Wheel Systems, signed an
agreement to acquire Armstrong Tyres, an Australian service and distribution
company of agricultural tires. The business specializes in tires and complete
wheels for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tractor dealers, and
holds a market-leading position in Australia. The acquisition increases
Trelleborg’s presence in the Australian market and strengthens the base for the
sale of tires to the aftermarket.

The acquired operation has its head office in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.
Sales in 2014 amounted to approximately SEK 50 M. This bolt-on acquisition is
part of Trelleborg’s strategy to strengthen its positions in attractive market
segments.

“A local presence and global reach have become key drivers in our business
strategy. This acquisition provides us with an excellent opportunity to expand
our range of agricultural and complete wheels in an attractive and major market.
We also see good prospects to position our business for future expansion in the
Australian aftermarket,” says Maurizio Vischi, President of the Trelleborg Wheel
Systems business area.

The transaction is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2015.
