Sweden-headquartered Trelleborg group said on 12 August it is making further investment in its Bulgarian unit for advanced liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding solutions.
The investment in support of the technology at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions LSR facility in Pernik, in southwestern Bulgaria, is part of the group’s commitment to developing its LSR injection molding manufacturing footprint, Trelleborg said in a statement.
Trelleborg utilized an option from 2011 to acquire the outstanding 50% of the shares in the Trelleborg Sealing Solutions LSR operation in Bulgaria in April this year.
The expansion will allow future growth in small- to medium-sized technical LSR, especially over molded parts for food, beverage, baby care, sanitary, industrial and automotive electronics markets.
The facility in Pernik is one of three sites where Trelleborg Sealing Solutions specializes in LSR injection molding. The other two sites are in Switzerland and the U.S.
Trelleborg is a global engineering group focused on polymer technology. It provides engineered polymer solutions that seal and protect critical applications in demanding environments.
