Trelleborg: Acquisition of French composite hose maker
Trelleborg has acquired Dynaflex, the French manufacturer of composite hoses, from industrial rubber group Manuli for an undisclosed sum. Based at Sancheville in central France, Dynaflex makes steel and fibre-reinforced hoses for applications including tanker trucks, aviation fuel and aggressive chemicals. It employs 15 staff. Trelleborg said Dynaflex will be fully integrated with Unifluid Technologies, the company it acquired last year, and operate as a single combined unit within Trelleborg Engineered Systems. It said it expected synergies in both production and sales between the two firms.
