Trelleborg’s marine operation has demonstrated its commitment to growing business in the U.S. with the appointment of Paul Welling as the region’s new president.
Following his success as Regional Director for the Middle East and Africa, in which he won Trelleborg the largest ever contract for fender systems, Paul has moved over to take on the president’s role in the U.S. to establish the company’s new manufacturing and business development facility in Berryville, Virginia.
All employees from Trelleborg’s previous site in Clear Brook, Virginia, have now made the move to operate from Berryville and Paul Welling, previously regional director for the Middle East and Africa has moved over to take on the regional president’s role in the U.S.
Welling, who has worked for Trelleborg’s marine operation for nearly 10 years, will head up the company’s new facility in Berryville.
