Used as pre-material for solid wheels for locomotives and freight wagons
Rail technology
On track with steel
Transporting passengers and freight by rail is only possible with steel: Suitable steel solutions are essential for safety and durability
As a rail technology supplier, we support our customers from component design through to production. For example, we produce wheel tire blanks for locomotives, gear blanks for drive solutions, ready-to-install flanges for tank wagons, and components for brakes, couplings and wheelsets. In short, we offer a wide range of products, primarily for rolling stock.
Market trend: green mobility transition
Local public mass transit
According to studies, the global market for rail technology will grow by an average of 2.3 percent per year. Light rail vehicles and streetcars are trending worldwide. Among other things, we produce cast steel main cross members and pivots for use in car body structures and bogies.
Green Steel for rail technology
Low emissions
for a greener future
Rail is an environmentally friendly means of transportation. For the future of rail mobility, it is vital that the entire value chain supports the green transition. We are making a key contribution with our CO2-reduced rail technology solutions.
What you can expect
The highest quality and safety standards
We meet the highest quality standards and have numerous product- and customer-specific certifications. These include, for example, approvals from Deutsche Bahn, including classification as a Q1 supplier. Our companies also have the relevant certifications from DNVGL, LR and TÜV, as well as RISAS and CD certifications for the rail industry in the UK and Czech Republic respectively.
