Trelleborg Increases Presence in the Market for Pipe Seals

Regulatory News:

Through its Trelleborg Engineered Systems business area, Trelleborg (STO:TRELB) has entered an agreement to acquire the operations of US company NPC Inc., with about 100 employees and sales of SEK 110 M.

This acquisition strengthens Trelleborg's leading position in pipe seals, primarily for newbuilding and replacement in the infrastructure market. NPC Inc. specializes in large seals for such applications as drains and manholes.

"NPC broadens our market presence, primarily in the North American market and, at the same time, provides an excellent complement to Trelleborg's existing range of pipe seals," says Lennart Johansson, President of the Trelleborg Engineered Systems business area.

NPC has its head office and production in Milford, New Hampshire, US, plus another minor production facility in the US.

NPC is a portfolio company of American Capital Strategies Ltd.

(Nasdaq: ACAS), the largest U.S. publicly traded alternative asset manager.

The operations will be integrated with the existing business within Trelleborg Engineered Systems.

The transfer of NPC Inc. is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2008.

Trelleborg is a global industrial group whose leading positions are based on advanced polymer technology and in-depth applications know-how. Trelleborg develops high-performance solutions that seal, damp and protect in demanding industrial environments. The Trelleborg Group had annual sales 2007 of approximately SEK 31 billion, with about 25,000 employees in 40 countries. The Group comprises four business areas: Trelleborg Engineered Systems, Trelleborg Automotive, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions and Trelleborg Wheel Systems. The Trelleborg share has been listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange since 1964 and is listed on the OMX Nordic List, large cap.
