Trelleborg strengthens its presence in India in industrial antivibration systems and specialty molded components

Today, Trelleborg inaugurates two operations in India, co-located in one
facility in Bengaluru. The facility will develop and produce industrial
antivibration systems and specialty molded components for various industrial
segments. Industrial antivibration systems are used for vibration damping in,
for example, rail, off-highway equipment and other industrial segments.
Specialty molded components, molded polymer materials, are found in a range of
industrial applications and in such industries as telecommunications, energy and
general industry.

Both operations are included in the Trelleborg Engineered Systems business area.
The facilities form part of Trelleborg’s strategy to grow in selected,
attractive and profitable markets and market segments. The operations will
provide Trelleborg’s existing international customers with local support and
deliveries for their facilities in India, and will also offer deliveries and
support to local Indian manufacturers.

“We strongly believe in India’s long-term growth opportunities. This investment
further strengthens our already strong global platform. As a result of
structural changes in India in terms of the continued rise in population,
industrial development and demand for such infrastructure as railways, roads,
airports and ports, combined with sustainable development, the country comprises
a growth market for Trelleborg,” says President and CEO, Peter Nilsson.

“There is promising demand for industrial antivibration products and solutions
for the growing infrastructure sector in the country. We also envisage immense
potential in general industries for our specialty molded components. The
facility in Bengaluru will enable us to come closer to our international
customers in the local market in India,” says President for Industrial Solutions
in the Trelleborg Engineered Systems business area, Mikael Fryklund.

The inauguration on November 2 will be attended by guests from all over the
world, including local and regional government officials, customers, as well as
management and personnel from Trelleborg.

Trelleborg and TrelleborgVibracoustic, the joint venture in antivibration
solutions for light and heavy vehicles, have manufacturing facilities in
Bengaluru, Noida and Chandigarh. These develop, manufacture and supply hydraulic
and pneumatic sealing systems for fluid power, automotive and aerospace among
