Trebolite

What Trebolite does

Trebolit is a Swedish manufacturer of roofing membranes, vapor barriers, and waterproofing systems, established in 1889 and headquartered at Bruksgatan 42, Höganäs, Sweden. The company operates as Trebolit AB and is a brand within Nordic Waterproofing Group, one of Europe's leading suppliers of roofing felt and membranes. Its core product line centers on Takpapp (roofing felt/membrane) for flat and low-slope roofs, supported by self-adhesive Universal Membran, bitumen and PE-foil vapor barriers (Ångspärrar), underlayments (Underlagstäckning), foundation and floor slab waterproofing (Grund & Bjälklag), and specialized systems including E-lit (a 100% hot-air-mounted membrane that eliminates open-flame installation) and Noxout (an air-purifying membrane that breaks down NOx particles).

The company runs a sales-led go-to-market targeting professional roofing contractors, builders, and building owners in Sweden through direct professional sales, supported by a content library of technical documentation, project planning guides, and building code compliance resources. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of roofing felt, waterproofing membranes, vapor barriers, and related roofing products; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct contact. Distribution is concentrated in Sweden with no disclosed international footprint beyond the parent group's pan-European scope.

Trebolit serves two primary customer segments: (1) construction-industry roofing contractors and installers who require durable, regulation-compliant waterproofing systems for flat, low-slope, and steep roofs; and (2) public and commercial buildings and facilities, including specialized use cases such as swimming pools, green roofs, and solar panel mounting on low-pitched bitumen roofs. The EchoTech sustainability initiative covers production processes, raw materials, installation methods, and waste management, functioning as a sub-brand for ESG positioning. The product portfolio is sold under the Trebolit brand with bitumen, polymer-modified, and aluminum-faced variants carrying RISE certifications for Swedish regulatory compliance.
