Originally beginning as a producer of high quality products for armed forces worldwide under the name of Dunlop GRG, the company became part of the Trelleborg Group in 2005. Meeting the exacting material standards of armed forces proved an ideal basis for developing heavy-duty products for highly demanding commercial applications. Our high quality service is backed up by our expertise in the area of flexible containment engineering and the ability to consistently produce to the highest standard demanded by present day markets.
Storage Tank Seals
Storage Tank Seals
Our wide range of polymer-coated fabrics custom is designed for vapour seal applications and manufactured to meet the demanding challenges of evaporation, storage and pressure containment in the petroleum, petrochemical and gas distribution industries.

Tube Seals
- Highly effective seal between roof and wall of petrochemical tanks.
- Hydrostatic sealing solution reduces evaporation and emissions.
- High flexibility ensures sealing compensates for tank imperfections.
Scuff Bands
- Abrasive-resistant solution effectively protects the tube seal.
- Ribbed surface reduces friction between sealing system and tank.
- Designed to enhance overall sealing system efficiency.
Gas Holder Seals
- High-quality seals for the Wiggins (Dry Seal) type gasholder.
- Effective gas loss prevention for gasholders in steel production.
- Seals ensure maximum gas recovery for reuse in powering the plant.
Fuel & Water Storage Systems
Fuel & Water Storage Systems
We produce a wide range of systems for the temporary storage and delivery of fuel and water used in military, humanitarian and commercial applications. Our systems extend from a single tank to a full fuel farm, including project management, containing elements such as flexible tanks and bund liners.
