Deal includes purchase of two Sico operations in Germany and Czech Republic
Trelleborg, Sweden – Trelleborg Industrial Solutions (TIS) has signed and finalised an agreement to acquire silicone rubber specialist Sico Group.
The acquisition includes Germany-based Sico Gesellschaft für Siliconverarbeitung mbH, and Sico Silicone sro, a joint venture in the Czech Republic, in which Trelleborg has held a 50% stake since 2016.
Sico develops and manufactures a range of engineered extruded and moulded silicone rubber products, said Trelleborg 6 May.
Products include tubes, hoses, and profiles, for food and beverage, healthcare, automotive niches, and building & construction.
The company is headquartered in Witten, Germany, where it operates its primary production plant. An additional production unit is located Velke Porici, the Czech Republic.
Sico generated consolidated sales of SEK280 million (€26 million) in 2024, according to Trelleborg.
The bolt-on acquisition, Trelleborg said, aligns with the group’s strategy to grow in attractive industries that complement and strengthen existing offerings.
“The acquisition strengthens our silicone capabilities in Europe and will allow us to offer customers a broader range of high-quality solutions,” said TIS president Jean Paul Mindermann.
