Trelleborg : establishes production in Morocco of sealing solutions for the aerospace industry

Trelleborg has decided to invest in a new production facility in Morocco, focusing on sealing solutions for the aerospace industry. The new facility will establish a local presence for several customers in the country while increasing capacity to meet the industry's strong global growth.

"Casablanca in Morocco has developed into a hub for aerospace companies. Today, no company in the country focuses on polymer seals for this industry. Our new facility will be an important step in supplying our customers locally and increasing our global capacity for an industry expected to continue to grow strongly for many years," says Peter Nilsson, President and CEO of Trelleborg.

The production facility will be established in the Midparc Industrial Freezone, next to the Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca. The state-of-the-art facility will get a substantial part of its energy supply from solar panels on its roof. The facility will initially have a surface area of more than 5,000 square meters and will be adapted to meet the stringent requirements of suppliers in the aviation industry.

Trelleborg will partner with the Moroccan Aerospace Training Center, IMA, to tailor education for prospective employees. The facility is planned to be operational by the end of 2025, and Trelleborg will initially invest more than SEK 100 million over two years.

Trelleborg already has a facility for the production of automotive boots in Morocco.
