Trelleborg’s anti-vibration solutions operation, a global expert in anti-vibration systems, showcased a variety of solutions that drive efficiency and performance for rail operators at this year’s International Railway Equipment Exhibition (IREE).

 

Held in New Delhi from October 22-24, 2019, the trade show brought together rail experts from across the world. Visitors to Trelleborg’s stand had the opportunity to put their anti-vibration questions and challenges directly to the Trelleborg team. They were able to gain practical insights into how today’s emerging technologies can enhance performance for rail operators and transform the experience of passengers through the reduction of noise and vibration.

 

Ranadip Basu, General Manager at Trelleborg’s antivibration solutions operation in India, said, “With the current commitment to the development of India´s railways, IREE is a fantastic opportunity for us to share our market-leading anti-vibration solutions with professionals here in India. As we have recently opened our cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, this event also gives customers the chance to meet our local experts, who can support them to develop bespoke solutions for their vibration-related challenges.”

 

Building on its experience within the rail market, Trelleborg recently opened a 6,200 square meter manufacturing facility to substantially increase production capabilities for anti-vibration systems in India.
