Trellebog opens marine products factory in China

ERJ staff report (DS)

Qingdao, China -- Trelleborg has opened its fifth wholly-owned production plant in China. The plant will manufacture products for infrastructure projects including fender systems for harbours and dredging hoses. The plant belongs to the Trelleborg Engineered Systems, is located in Qingdao on the east coast of China and will initially have approximately 100 employees.

“The decision to locate the plant in Qingdao was key. It is one of the main hubs for rubber manufacturing in China, which facilitates recruitment and means that we are close to the delivery chain. The city also has excellent infrastructure with a large international harbor and a well-served airport.”

Trelleborg has five wholly-owned production units in China, two in the Shanghai area, two in the Wuxi area and one in Qingdao. In addition, there is a development unit in Shanghai and several marketing offices to effectively cultivate the local markets. "further investments to increase presence are in the pipeline," said Trelleborg's President and CEO, Peter Nilsson.
