The Trygonal Group recently generated annual sales of over 30 million euros. 220 employees at eight locations in Germany, Spain, Austria and in Switzerland produce high-quality, customized sealing solutions in the areas of thermoplastics, elastomers and rubber-metal compounds using a wide range of manufacturing processes.

"The acquisition of the Trygonal Group strategically expands the current Freudenberg Xpress® service offering," explains Sebastian Grünschloß, Vice President Global Freudenberg Xpress® & Service Platforms. "Thanks to the expanded regional coverage and additional manufacturing capabilities, we can significantly increase our service offering."

With the acquisition, Freudenberg Xpress® is thus further expanding the capacities of its existing core business with CNC-turned products. "In addition, complementary manufacturing processes for small and medium production volumes will allow us to increase our service promise in the area of customer-specific product solutions," Grünschloß continues.

The acquisition also allows a significantly expanded range of Freudenberg’s own materials to be included in the Freudenberg Xpress® portfolio, explains Grünschloß. "Freudenberg’s materials competence and expertise are currently more in demand than ever. It is therefore a strategic decision for Freudenberg Xpress® to make even greater use of this capability in order to offer even better solutions tailored to the customer."
