Epros is privately owned and located in Duisburg, Germany, and St Albans, UK, and has approximately 30 employees and annual sales of about SEK 90 million.
Epros is a niche leader in after-market pipe systems, specialising in trenchless repairs. Methods used to seal leaking pipes and improve structural stability in pipe systems include EPDM and the use of materials such as impregnated polyester fabrics.
“Epros is an excellent complement to our existing pipe seals business,” said Peter Suter, President of Trelleborg Building Systems. “When combined with Trelleborg’s polymer expertise and infrastructure, the acquisition will enable us to capitalise on the rapidly expanding market for internal pipe sealing. This kind of after-market service has a number of commercial synergies with our other products and services.”
Trelleborg Building Systems is a division of the Trelleborg Group, a global industrial group which develops high-performance sealing and protecting solutions based on advanced polymer technology.
