The Trelleborg Group has been working since the day after Christmas to ensure that none of its employees is missing and has organised relief efforts, primarily in Sri Lanka. Trelleborg, which has approximately 22,000 employees, has operations in several of the countries affected. Reports to date indicate that none of Trelleborg’s employees are missing. The company is continuing to gather information to establish the certainty of this.
The Group has approximately 800 employees in Sri Lanka. They have been heavily affected, and some have lost their homes. Since the disaster first struck, Trelleborg has focused its relief efforts on Sri Lanka. This has involved providing food, medicine and clothing to disaster victims. Efforts to rebuild homes that were demolished are ongoing.
The company has allocated just over 2 million Krone for relief to Sri Lanka. In addition, the Group has donated 100,000 Krone each to Save the Children and the Red Cross. Individual Trelleborg employees have also donated money toward relief efforts. Trelleborg’s two plants in Sri Lanka are intact and production is under way.
