Trelleborg Group (Sweden) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Polymer Sealing Solutions (PSS), formerly a division of Smiths Group (UK). PSS is a leading global manufacturer of precision polymer seals and bearings.

Bearing manufacturing operations within Trelleborg now include Orkot Hydro and Marine Bearings, along with the polymer bearing manufacturing operations of PSS division, Busak+Shamban.

In a July 2003 article, we described PSS business operations in detail and reported how SKF AB (Sweden) had come up short in its bid to acquire PSS.
