Trelleborg, a provider of engineered polymer solutions, through its business area Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, has fully acquired U.S.-based and privately owned Sil-Pro LLC. Sil-Pro is an ISO 13485-certified and FDA-registered manufacturer of silicone and thermoplastic components and assemblies for medical devices based in Delano, Minn. The strategic acquisition adds capabilities for medium-volume silicone products not offered by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions today and expands its manufacturing footprint. Sil-Pro’s thermoplastic capabilities are an important addition to the current Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Healthcare & Medical component portfolio. Dave Pool, president of Sil-Pro, stated, “Trelleborg brings a history of developing highly engineered product solutions and a reputation for putting the customer first, which is how we built our business and mirrors our mission. This, combined with Trelleborg’s significant customer-facing teams and global footprint, will enable us to explore new and exciting ways to deliver value to our customers.” “Sil-Pro has brought value to its customers through vertical integration,” said Kristian Brok, president of global operations elastomers for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions. “Sil-Pro has a staff of design and development engineers, along with tooling, machining, and automation teams, as well as ISO Class 7 cleanrooms. This is a significant addition to our global footprint and a capability that gives us the ability to take our customers’ projects from conception to full scale manufacturing.” Linda Muroski, president of marketing Americas at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, added, “Sil-Pro complements our existing product offering well and expands our product range in such areas as drug delivery and surgical tools. The acquisition of Sil-Pro will enable us to expand our capabilities, and product and services offerings, to better service our customers and help them achieve their goals.” Sil-Pro is located in Delano, Minn. The transaction was consolidated on January 3, 2019. The company name changes to Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Delano LLC.
