Report from Trelleborg AB's Annual General Meeting

Approximately 900 shareholders participated in the Trelleborg Group's Annual
General Meeting in Trelleborg on April 28. CEO Peter Nilsson described how
Trelleborg develops high-performance solutions that seal, damp and protect in
demanding industrial environments throughout the world. 

“In 2007, the Trelleborg Group continued to grow and sales increased by 14
percent. It was particularly gratifying,” said Peter Nilsson, “that our organic
growth reached a level of 10 percent.”

Peter Nilsson underlined the Group's priority of creating value for customers,
shareholders and employees by continuing to refine the business structure and
product portfolio.

“Trelleborg achieves this, for example, by continuously striving toward leading
positions in segments that are attractive in the long-term, such as offshore oil
and gas exploration, aerospace, the chemicals industry and infrastructure. At
the same time, it is important to continue strengthening our leading positions
that have been established for several years.”

Peter Nilsson also emphasized the importance of continuing to increase the
Group's presence in such growth markets as Asia, Latin America and Eastern
Europe.
