Trelleborg makes complementary acquisition
within marine fender systems in the US
Through its business area Trelleborg Engineered
Systems, the Trelleborg Group has acquired the operations of US-based
Ecoboard, which develops and manufactures primarily marine piling
and deck constructions.
Ecoboard, which has annual sales of approximately
SEK 20 M, produces composite marine piling and decks from recycled
polymer materials. This acquisition supplements Trelleborg’s
product offering in marine engineering solutions, with port facilities
as the primary end-customer segment. The acquisition also reinforces
Trelleborg’s already leading position in this market. Ecoboard
will be fully integrated with Trelleborg’s existing US operations.
Including its Fentek and Seaward brands, Trelleborg
is the world’s largest manufacturer of marine fender systems.
