Global leading engineered polymer group Trelleborg has announced a greenfield development for its engineered coated fabrics operations in Gateway West Commerce Park, Rutherford County, North Carolina. This new site, part of Rutherford County’s vision for advanced manufacturing, will be Trelleborg’s second major facility in the area. The development is expected to solidify Trelleborg’s position as an industry leader and a significant local employer.
The initial investment in the new facility exceeds $30 million, covering state-of-the-art production capabilities and a commitment to sustainability. Trelleborg plans to break ground on the new facility in Q4 2024, with production set to begin in Q1 2026. This strategic expansion highlights Trelleborg’s dedication to innovation and sustainable practices, reinforcing its leadership in the engineered polymer industry.
"By investing in sustainability as well as capacity, we will be better positioned to meet our customers’ needs and have a positive impact on our local community," said Steve Brockman, President of Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics. "Our new facility will be built to achieve LEED certification, and our operations will be carbon neutral and emit zero emissions. This investment helps us expand our use of bio-based polymers and recycled raw materials, aiding Trelleborg and our customers in meeting their product circularity targets."
