Overview
Trelleborg Industrial Antivibration Systems (TIAVS) is a leader in designing and manufacturing rubber/metal bonded components for noise and vibration isolation. The company operates globally, with production facilities in Europe, India, and China, all certified to ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 standards.

Product and Technology
TIAVS offers a range of products under the Metalastik and Novibra brands, including bearings, suspension bushings, mountings, and couplings. These are used in various applications such as engines, gearboxes, and electronic equipment. The company emphasizes its engineering and development capabilities as key strengths.

Custom Solutions
Trelleborg specializes in developing tailored solutions for specific customer needs, particularly in windfarms where factors like topography and meteorology affect noise and vibration. The company collaborates closely with OEMs and uses sophisticated testing equipment to ensure optimal performance.

Innovation and Reliability
Since the 1990s, Trelleborg has supplied anti-vibration bearings to the wind energy sector, achieving a record of reliability. Notable innovations include the Spherilastik "teeter" bearing, which reduces noise and vibration by allowing rotor blades to tilt, thus minimizing structural stress.

Global Impact
Trelleborg's technology is used worldwide, including in the two-bladed turbine from Windflow Technology in New Zealand. Their products help reduce noise and vibration, allowing for lighter and less expensive turbine structures.

Commitment to Partnership
TIAVS values partnerships with customers, focusing on advanced technology and design to meet specific needs. The company continuously improves its products through R&D, using FMEA and simulation techniques to address future challenges and develop new materials.
