Meet Trelleborg
“Trelleborg is a global leader in technical polymer solutions. We offer a unique portfolio for a wide range of applications, including the most demanding environments.”
Examples of solutions Trelleborg offers include seals for ventilation systems, wind turbines, pipes, solar applications, and construction elements. These innovative solutions are used across multiple diverse industries such as automotive, construction, renewable energy, aerospace, food and beverage, and safety and protection.
The Challenge
“We have implemented numerous projects together, particularly in the area of consumables and machine technology for pipe and sewer rehabilitation.”
Trelleborg focuses on R&D projects in different verticals. However, managing project documentation, seeking financial support for each project, and developing a strategic approach for acquiring R&D funding was challenging without external support.
Major challenges Trelleborg faced included:
- Handling multiple R&D projects
- Recording and arranging project information in the correct format
- Preparing high-quality applications
The Solution
“The collaboration is extremely efficient and straightforward for us: We provide the relevant project information, and innoscripta converts it into professional funding applications.”
From organizing project information to preparing successful funding applications, innoscripta provided holistic support to Trelleborg.
- Efficient project documentation: Trelleborg was only required to share the relevant information, and innoscripta ensured smooth documentation of R&D project details in the correct format.
- High-quality applications: By converting project information into well-constructed research funding applications, innoscripta enabled Trelleborg to submit it within a short time.
Software support: “An additional added value for us is innoscripta's software tool, which supports the allocation of employees and reliably keeps track of the assessment limits.”
innoscripta’s software tool enabled the documentation of entire R&D projects including human resources data on a centralized platform. Allocation of human resources for R&D activities and tracking of assessment limits became seamless processes with this software support.
The Impact
Collaboration with innoscripta generated significant benefits for Trelleborg.
