Trelleborg Strengthens Capabilities with CRC Distribution Acquisition

Fort Wayne, IN, January 2025 – Trelleborg has finalized the acquisition of CRC Distribution, a distributor of polymer seals and services for hydraulics, hydropower, oil and gas, and fluid power applications located in Robertsdale, Alabama.

CRC has a strong customer base in the United States and Canada where Trelleborg Sealing Solutions aims to continually grow its market share. Fluid power technology for the off-highway market is a specialty of CRC and provides synergies that enable Trelleborg to meet the needs of customers in the industry.

Since 2021, CRC has been an exclusive distributor of Trelleborg seals in the southern and western United States and for Orkot® products across the United States and Canada. The company stocks hydraulic seals for mobile and industrial applications and offers engineering support to design custom seals up to 100 inches/2,540 mm. CRC Distribution’s products can be cut to any specified length or sold in full stock lengths, and all orders are shipped the same day from the Robertsdale, Alabama warehouse.

The CRC acquisition follows a series of successful acquisitions for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions in the United States including VB Seal in 2021, Carolina Seal and Anderson Seal in 2017, Lutz Sales in 2012, and AFM in 2011.
