This partnership will enable development of business in Western Europe, providing customers with country-based knowledge and high levels of local support.

Marc Claassen, Director of Borbotech says: “Trelleborg’s offshore operation has a proven track record, successfully offering advanced rubber solutions for over 30 years. Our partnership with Trelleborg allows Borbotech to be a unique company of its kind, giving us the ability to offer a wide range of proven solutions for both oil and gas and a variety of land-based industries.”

Ben Erik Jansen, Head of Sales for Trelleborg’s offshore operation in Norway, says: “We are very pleased to have Borbotech on board as an agent in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The agreement is exclusively for Elastopipe™ and our range of PFP solutions. We have high expectations for future growth in these countries and look forward to develop our solutions portfolio for new industries.”

Elastopipe™ is a patented flexible piping system developed for transporting a variety of fluids and is known for its corrosion-free, explosion, impact and jet fire resistant properties. This next generation piping system uses synthetic rubber instead of traditional materials and incorporates the only piping material approved for offshore deluge systems that has survived sequential explosion, impact and jet fire testing.

Trelleborg’s Firestop™ material is a passive fire protection solution used to protect personnel and equipment by minimising fire escalation, providing time to evacuate people, close down critical equipment and for responders to gain control of the fire. The certified rubber-based material protects structures from exceeding critical temperature limits.

Borbotech BV was founded in 2012 and specialises in internal pipeline investigation with camera equipment. In addition to pipe inspections, Borbotech BV provides the service of residual life investigation of steel pipes, corrosion prevention measures, clean sprinkler systems to combat severe corrosion problems, drilling under pressure in sprinkler systems and the sale of various products.
