Our experts

Behind every reliable Trelleborg solution is a team of dedicated professionals. Meet Dr. Bob Milne (Senior Test Engineer) and Ryan Brooks (Test Engineer) at our Bridgwater test lab.

Bob holds a PhD in Nano Mechanics and leads testing capacity expansions, working closely with customers to create realistic test environments that validate seal performance under real-world conditions.“ Our goal is to replicate the real-world challenges our customers face. We push our sealing solutions to the limit in a controlled environment so they can perform with confidence in the field," says Milne.

Ryan, who holds a degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering, supports a wide range of testing activities. One recent project involved testing aerospace seals through 60,000 cycles, demonstrating the extreme conditions our products withstand.

"It is a privilege to work with the team here in Bridgwater. We thrive on collaboration and developing innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges," says Ryan.

Together, their work helps ensure Trelleborg solutions meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. 

What we do best

Our Bridgwater facility delivers complete solutions, not just standalone products. We have impressive production capabilities spanning a wide range of sizes, engineering seal profiles from three millimeters to 3,500 millimeters in diameter.

Our team recently helped introduce liquid hydrogen sealing technology, opening a new market and showing our role in driving future developments. Through close collaboration with partners, we ensure quality, reliability and continuous improvement.

This approach allows us to use innovative materials and stay at the forefront of modern development. We also hold weekly meetings with customers to incorporate their feedback quickly.  

Responding to emerging trends

As industrial environments undergo rapid changes from electrification and automation, sealing requirements become more demanding. Faster, more dynamic systems make it difficult to contain fluids safely.

To meet these modern demands, we improved the performance of our engineered sealing solutions at our Bridgwater facility. We operate a highly advanced, fully automated production system called the PAL-line.

This state-of-the-art line combines multiple manufacturing stages like material handling, component assembly, forming, in-line inspection, final finishing and packing into a seamless process. The system delivers exceptional consistency, precise traceability and top-quality performance for high-volume applications.

The PAL-line's flexibility also supports rapid adaptation to new materials, geometries and tighter tolerances. This ensures we can meet emerging needs in electrification, sustainability and advanced system integration.
