Report from Annual General Meeting of Trelleborg AB

Approximately 900 shareholders attended the Annual General Meeting of the
Trelleborg Group on April 25. Based on the “Solutions Securing Values” theme,
President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Nilsson described, with the aid of
film clips and products, how Trelleborg develops high-performance solutions that
seal, damp and protect in demanding industrial environments throughout the
world. 

In 2006, the Trelleborg Group continued to grow and sales increased by 13
percent. Peter Nilsson particularly emphasized the favorable organic growth,
which amounted to 6 percent. In addition, Trelleborg acquired companies with
sales totaling approximately SEK 3.2 billion in 2006.

Peter Nilsson underlined the company's priorities in the future to create value
for customers, shareholders and employees by continuing to refine the business
structure and product portfolio and advancing the Group toward leading positions
within long-term, attractive segments, such as offshore oil and gas extraction,
infrastructure/construction, the aerospace industry and the chemicals industry.
Another priority is to continue to increase the Group's presence in such growth
markets as Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, where numerous activities and
investments are currently under way. Other priorities that were addressed were
efficiency enhancements in operations, the ongoing action program and the
importance of target-oriented, value-based leadership to further develop the
organization.
