Trelleborg acquires marine fender systems company to expand its presence in North America

Trelleborg has, through its business area Trelleborg Offshore & Construction,
signed an agreement to acquire Maritime International, Inc., a U.S. based
privately owned marine fender systems company. The company designs and
manufactures marine fender systems and other quay accessories. The acquisition
strengthens the presence of Trelleborg in berthing, docking and mooring in North
America and reinforces Trelleborg’s leading position globally.

The acquired business has its head office and main manufacturing facility in
Broussard, Louisiana. Sales are mainly in North America and amount to
approximately SEK 200 M annually. This bolt-on acquisition is part of
Trelleborg’s strategy to strengthen its positions in attractive market segments.

“The acquired business is a well-run business with a strong market reputation.
With the acquisition we expand and broaden our presence in North America and
obtain access not only to enlarged local production capabilities and offerings
but also to solid engineering and testing expertise,” says Fredrik Meuller,
President of the Trelleborg Offshore & Construction business area.

“We share the same values as the acquired business in regards to quality, safety
and technology, which is essential as we continue our focus on increasingly
engineered polymer solutions with a high technology and knowledge content. The
fender market outlook in the North American region brings strong growth
opportunities, especially as increasing vessel sizes necessitate port facility
upgrades,” concludes Fredrik Meuller.

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