Trelleborg acquires manufacturer of silicone components for the medical device market

Trelleborg has, through its business area Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, signed
an agreement to acquire Specialty Silicone Fabricators Inc. (SSF), a U.S.-based
privately-owned manufacturer of high-precision silicone components for medical
technology original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The acquired company is a
significant player in the important and high growth U.S. life sciences market,
providing Trelleborg with a strong platform for future development.

SSF is headquartered in Tustin, California, and has production facilities in
Tustin and Paso Robles, California, as well as in Elk Rapids, Michigan. Sales
amounted to approximately SEK 330 M in 2015. This bolt-on acquisition is part of
Trelleborg’s strategy to strengthen its positions in attractive market
segments.

“I am delighted to announce this acquisition. SSF is a leading player in
silicone products for the U.S. market, with a strong reputation, track record
and an attractive base of OEM customers. The acquired company differentiates
itself by focusing on advanced, challenging applications and by providing
support and value to the customer from initial design – a similar positioning
and approach to Trelleborg,” says Claus Barsøe, President of the Trelleborg
Sealing Solutions business area.

The transaction is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2016.
