Trelleborg inaugurates a new R&D facility in Bangalore, India.
This new facility is Trelleborg’s first in India and second in Asia. It aims to strengthen partnerships with local industries while enhancing responsiveness and competence in the dynamic market landscape in Asia-Pacific, focusing on a range of advanced sealing technologies, including both material and design innovations.
The R&D center is equipped with aging ovens to conduct compatibility studies in air and fluid media which allows Trelleborg to examine the compatibility of materials with customer-specific fluids.
Initially the R&D center will focus on analyzing the physical characteristics like tensile strength, elongation, modulus and tear strength of elastomer compounds, in addition to compatibility of high-performance materials with critical application fluids.
Future plans include incorporating additional capabilities like analytical testing, benchmark analysis and product testing.
“This reflects our dedication to building robust relationships with local companies and industries. With the new R&D center, we can partner on early development with customers and validate the designs,” said Ranjan Sen, Managing Director Industrial Asia Pacific.
