Trelleborg’s engineered coated fabrics operation recently launched the Trelleborg Master Fabricator Program in the U.S. in collaboration with six industry-leading fabricators serving the general industry and the aerospace market.  

The inaugural event was held on November 15 to 17, 2016 in Rutherfordton, North Carolina.

Steve Brockman, Trelleborg Sales & Business Development Director for Trelleborg’s engineered coated fabrics in the US, who hosted the event, says: “The mission of the Master Fabricator Program is to collectively add more value to the supply chain.  

Trelleborg and their key fabrication partners will leverage their strengths and close collaboration to gain deeper end user insights.  We’ll use these insights to drive new product development and to identify creative ways to improve our market responsiveness. We believe the Trelleborg Master Fabricator Program will establish a new benchmark for bringing coated fabric innovations to market.”
