Trelleborg, founded in 1905 by Henry Dunker and Johan Kock as "Trelleborgs Gummifabriks AB" in Trelleborg, Sweden, represents over 115 years of rubber and tire manufacturing excellence, evolving from a small rubber factory with 150 employees to a global leader in engineered polymer solutions. The company's remarkable journey began with bicycle tire production and industrial rubber applications, expanding rapidly through internationalization that saw foreign sales grow from 4% in 1950 to nearly 40% by 1970. Trelleborg's tire division, known as Trelleborg Wheel Systems (TWS), became a leading global supplier of tires and complete wheels for off-highway vehicles, specialty applications, passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery. The comprehensive Trelleborg tire portfolio included multiple brands such as Trelleborg, Mitas, Maximo, Cultor, and Interfit, manufactured across 14 facilities in nine countries spanning Europe, the United States, Brazil, and Asia. Trelleborg's strategic global expansion established manufacturing plants in Italy, Latvia, Serbia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, China, Sri Lanka, and Brazil, serving diverse vehicle applications with advanced tire technology and engineering expertise. The company's commitment to innovation and quality made Trelleborg tires a preferred choice for specialty applications, off-road vehicles, agricultural equipment, motorcycles, and industrial machinery requiring superior performance and durability. Following rapid growth that saw sales surge from approximately EUR 240 million to EUR 2.2 billion by 1989, Trelleborg achieved stock exchange listing in 1964, demonstrating sustained business success and market leadership. In 2023, Trelleborg Group completed the strategic divestment of its Trelleborg Wheel Systems business to The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. for €2.1 billion, with the tire operations now continuing as Yokohama TWS while maintaining the respected Trelleborg brand heritage. The legacy of Trelleborg's tire manufacturing excellence continues under Yokohama's ownership, preserving over a century of Swedish engineering innovation and quality standards across diverse vehicle categories and specialty applications worldwide.
