We contribute to a better society
Trelleborg supports the communities where we are located by participating in various social activities, and, in selected places, by giving dedicated support to young people’s learning and development activities.
Sri Lanka
Together with Star for Life, Trelleborg runs a school program at the Kelani and Bellana Colleges, Sri Lanka. The idea behind the initiative is to inspire young people to believe in their future and their dreams. Trelleborg also supports Antonio Bianchi’s House, a pre-school in Colombo for disabled children, in cooperation with Child Action Lanka. Watch video below.
India
In India, Trelleborg’s community involvement includes several different activities. In schools close to our facilities in Bengaluru we have started a grant program. Talented youngsters who would otherwise have had difficulties to continue their education get a welcome financial support. In the village Maralukunte, Trelleborg has supported a development project that has included improved water supplies, street lamps and child care. The project has been run together with the organization Hand in Hand.

Pre-school for disadvantaged children in Sri Lanka
Child Action Lanka planned a child project in Kelaniya, near Trelleborg’s facility in Sri Lanka. Trelleborg was looking for a suitable project to support in memory of Antonio Bianchi, an employee who passed away. The result was Antonio Bianchi’s House, which opened in September 2010, and conducts preschool education for thirteen local children whose families would not normally have been able to afford such an opportunity.
