Quality at every stage
QUALITY NEVER FELT BETTER
Trelleborg Antivibration Solutions specializes in isolation, attenuation and suspension solutions of unshakeable quality and reliability. Trelleborg’s products are specified by leading shipbuilders, marine energy builders and manufacturers of ship borne equipment and machinery. We also work closely with European naval forces to supply antivibration and shock mountings for use on surface fighting ships, submarines and supply vessels.
PERFORMANCE NEVER FELT BETTER
Marine design is constantly evolving, as is the technology used to reduce excessive vibration and noise. Trelleborg Antivibration Solutions is continuing to lead the way in this crucial area of marine engineering.
Our marine product range is extensive and expanding. It includes mounting systems for use with main propulsion engines of all weights, generator sets, auxiliary machinery and exhaust systems. Metalastik® mounts isolate deckhouses and cabins from the hull on cruise liners, ferries, workboats and luxury yachts, ensuring comfort and noise isolation in accommodation areas. For defense applications, our mounting systems are used to protect sensitive equipment and improve safety and comfort levels for all crew members.
SUPPORT NEVER FELT BETTER
In the marine industry, logistics can be a challenge, especially as project locations get more remote. What’s more, minimum order values and quantities can be restrictive and make it difficult for you to get exactly what you need, which is not the case with Trelleborg. Our strong, global supply chain and dedicated service can adapt to and support your logistics, making us a supplier you can rely on.
DRIVING INNOVATION INTO THE MARINE INDUSTRY
Trelleborg Antivibration Solutions has a long history of product innovation, including the Metalastik® brand. First introduced almost 100 years ago, Metalastik® has evolved to become one of the world’s most respected and successful antivibration products, and is still widely used in the marine industry today. We are also the name behind pioneering marine products including Dredgeair and Evolo® vibration mounts.
This innovation continues today, and we remain at the forefront of marine design. Investing significantly in R&D, we work closely with commercial and military customers - including European naval forces - to develop new solutions which anticipate and meet future needs. At the heart of this lies our Centre of Excellence in Dordrecht, The Netherlands.
Using advanced analytical and simulation capability – including our own VibrationLabTM – our multi-disciplinary teams have earned a global reputation for researching and solving complex engineering challenges. As a result, we offer one of the most complete portfolios of marine sector solutions – and one we’re adding to continuously.
We can apply this innovation to your unique needs, developing a bespoke and cost-effective solution for your application. Give us the challenge, and our specialist teams will work with you at every stage - from concept, design and manufacturing, to modelling, testing and installation. You can be sure that the solution will meet your needs and be fully compliant with international standards, ensuring you feel the full power of our innovation.
