Trelleborg expands into Russia, Vietnam, Japan, and Morocco

Trelleborg reportedly plans to extend its manufacturing operations in Russia, Vietnam, Japan, and Morocco, the group’s first fully owned production facilities in these countries.

The company says that it has invested just under SEK 300 million, allocated over five years, to develop the new facilities. When the facilities are fully operational in 2026, they are expected to have just over 300 employees.

‘Trelleborg’s success is based on our ability to combine a strongly decentralized and local organization with the competence and financial strength of a global company,’ said Peter Nilsson, president and CEO of Trelleborg Group. ‘To do this we must be close to our customers and be able to grow alongside them, and over time also develop other local customer relationships that may become global.’

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions will be located in Russia and Vietnam, while Trelleborg Industrial Solutions will begin manufacture in Japan and Morocco, the company said.
