Busak+Shamban is renamed Trelleborg Sealing Solutions

Busak+Shamban has been part of the Trelleborg Group, with whom it shares a foundation in polymer expertise, since its acquisition in October 2003. With a pedigree going back over 50 years, the marketing arm continued to operate under the existing Busak+Shamban brand, while the manufacturing facilities adopted the Trelleborg name. From 2 April 2007, to consolidate the group's brand strategy, Busak+Shamban will change its name to Trelleborg Sealing Solutions.

Claus Barse, President of the Trelleborg Sealing Solutions business area, states: "The transfer will be seamless. We feel this change will unify our total brand offering, emphasising that our marketing companies and manufacturing facilities run as a cohesive unit. The quality of support and service we give to our customers will not be affected. In fact, it can only be enhanced by our future plans.

"Our business is core within the Trelleborg Group. An exciting time is ahead; the name change heralds more significant investment in our business area. This will further strengthen our position as one of the world's leading developers, manufacturers and suppliers of sealing solutions to aerospace, industrial and automotive markets globally."
