Our Market
Trelleborg is a world leader in products and solutions based on advanced polymer technology. Polymers are some of the most durable and multifaceted materials in existence. In principle, their unique qualities make it possible to seal, damp and protect just about anywhere.
Currently, Trelleborg Group’s sales are comprised of approximately 90 percent industrial rubber products and about 10 percent special tires, that is, agricultural and industrial tires.
The industrial rubber market comprises product areas including antivibration, hoses and seals, but does not include the market for tires. The industrial rubber market is fragmented, although a gradual process of consolidation is under way. Trelleborg plays an active role in this process.
The industrial rubber market is highly diversified and encompasses several different market segments. Trelleborg is active in selected areas in the light vehicle, general industry, offshore oil/gas, transportation equipment, agriculture, infrastructure construction and aerospace segments.
