MALMESBURY, England, September 10, 2010 - Trelleborg Marine Systems, the world's leading supplier of
fendering, mooring and berthing systems, has demonstrated its commitment to
the Japanese market by bringing Japan-based Trelleborg distributor, TMS
Japan, into the Trelleborg Group.

The acquisition will see Trelleborg extend its service
offering in Japan, adding its smart docking and mooring systems to the range
of fender systems currently offered by TMS Japan.

Richard Hepworth, managing director, Trelleborg Marine
Systems, commented: "The Japanese market is a very quality-driven market,
which complements the Trelleborg ethos and our consistent commitment for
continued product development and high-quality customer service.

"We have experienced increasing demand for Trelleborg fenders
in Japan and the acquisition will enable us to better serve this market,
enabling access to a broader range of Trelleborg solutions and our global
technical support team."

Trelleborg Marine Systems' customers will have the opportunity
to leverage the expertise of TMS Japan's managing director, Hiroshi Muramoto.
A marine industry veteran, Hiroshi boasts over 25-years experience in the
fender market and will manage the Trelleborg wholly-owned business.

Richard added: "Hiroshi has a great deal of industry
experience and knows our product portfolio inside out. He has great
relationships with many of Trelleborg's existing clients and shares our
commitment to customer service, we are thrilled to have him on board and know
that both new and existing customers will benefit enormously from his
consultative approach."

The acquisition is part of Trelleborg Marine Systems'
continued growth strategy, in which the company plans to expand into further
high-quality, high-value markets.
