About Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics
The business traces its roots to 1905 when Henry Dunker founded Trelleborgs Gummifabriks AB in Sweden, initially producing bicycle and car tires, industrial rubber goods, and raincoats. Through a series of acquisitions — including Reeves Brothers in 2006, Uretek Archer in 2014, Dartex Holdings and Lamcotec in 2018, and the Fairprene and FluoroSeal operations from Alpha Engineered Composites in 2021 — the company has expanded its coated-fabric portfolio and North American footprint. The company develops and manufactures custom polymer-coated fabrics using coating, lamination, and hot-melt technologies. Its product lines encompass Dartex medical fabrics, Fairprene diaphragm and gasket materials, FluoroSeal fluoroelastomer sheet packing, Pipecure trenchless pipe-rehabilitation liners, REEVECOTE sealing solutions, TACTWEAR flame-resistant defense textiles, and Vapex arc-resistant high-visibility fabrics. Trelleborg also supplies uncoated textiles and works with substrates ranging from knits to woven fabrics, pairing them with rubber, polyurethane, silicone, and fluoroelastomer coatings to meet specific performance requirements. Customers span aerospace, automotive, safety and protection, healthcare and medical, outdoor and recreation, general manufacturing, marine, rail and mass transit, and defense sectors. Notable applications include aerostats for the National Missile Defense (JLENS) program, pressure-injury-prevention fabrics for hospitals, and Berry Amendment-compliant materials for military and law-enforcement personnel. Trelleborg emphasizes over 100 years of manufacturing excellence and a material-engineering approach that combines process engineering and chemistry to accelerate performance sustainably. The company states that its relentless curiosity to understand customer applications drives innovation, while sustainability initiatives across its sites target carbon neutrality and environmental responsibility.
