Keeping reliability and quality on track for rail industry

More and more travelers use modern train services because of their ease, cost effectiveness, comfort and safety.

It is therefore a matter of course for manufacturers of rail and train components to ensure that quality products and services continue to be delivered to the industry every day. Increasing reliability through new tools, materials and machining techniques, as well as supporting productive and cost effective maintenance of existing infrastructure, is crucial.

In 2013, the global market for railway technology was approximately 150 billion euros. This is expected to see an annual growth of 2.7 per cent over the next few years, reaching an average annual value of 176 billion euros before 2019.

The railway segment has been a focus for Dormer Pramet for many years, with the company offering customers a wide range of cutting tools to help with both production and maintenance.

Railway wheels and rails are the most important components in any railway operation, as they represent the interface between vehicle and track. Therefore, both rail and wheel surfaces must always be of the highest quality.
