Trelleborg

Trelleborg Group, through its business area, Trelleborg Industrial Solutions has signed an agreement and finalized the acquisition of Gomet S.r.l., an Italian company active in the European aftermarket for niche automotive components.

Gomet specializes in protective polymer components for critical automotive systems, primarily constant velocity joint boots, jounce bumpers, and rack and pinion boots.

The company's headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in Azeglio, Italy, and annual sales in 2025 were approximately SEK 270 million. The seller is the U.S.-based chemical company Huntsman Corporation.

"Gomet further strengthens our position in automotive boots both as a key supplier to the world’s leading OEMs and now also in the aftermarket, where we see significant opportunities. As the lifespan of vehicles on the road continues to increase, there is a corresponding demand for high-quality replacement parts to keep critical systems damage-free,” says Jean-Paul Mindermann, President of Trelleborg Industrial Solutions.

Trelleborg has a global presence in automotive boots, built on customer proximity, with operations across Europe, Asia, and North America.
