of production processes and industrial niche segments in
Bangalore. The new facility was officially inaugurated on
April 27.
In 1996, Trelleborg Automotive established its busi-
ness in Noida to offer innovative solutions and products
such as anti-vibration rubber, rubber-to-metal bonded and
polyurethane parts for passenger cars and truck applica-
tions. Trelleborg has since become a market leader in In-
dia. With its global customer base and significant growth
potential in the automotive sector in India, it foresees a
prosperous future. In addition, this Trelleborg facility is
planned to establish a joint venture with another company
during the current year.
“We have long been present in In-
dia and are now approaching a to-
tal of about 1,000 employees there.
Having the engineering, design and
marketing aspects of each of the
Trelleborg business areas central-
ised in this way enables us to drive
cost efficiencies and improves col-
laboration to enable cross fertilisa-
tion of ideas across our global offic-

such as railways, roads, tunnels, air-
ports and ports, in combination with
a great concern for sustainability,
make India a perfect match for Trel-
leborg”, Mr. Nilsson added.
