Due to the geopolitical situation, the future outlook is accompanied by unusually high uncertainty", writes the company, specialized in sealing and damping, about the prospects for the second quarter.
For the first quarter, Trelleborg reports an increase in net sales of 8 percent compared to the previous year, to a record high of 8.9 billion kronor.
The adjusted operating result for the quarter of 1.46 billion kronor was in line with expectations.
"Most of what we produce in a region is sold within that region. We are well prepared to handle the challenges of tariffs through strategic production optimization, regional localization, proactive price management, and global flexibility. What is harder to estimate is the indirect effects, i.e. to what extent our customers will be affected", writes CEO Peter Nilsson in a comment.
