    A customer-oriented organization

    We have designed our offer to meet the needs of three types of customer:

    • Equipment owners, who are looking to increase the value of their assets over the lifetime of their equipment (acquisition, renovation, conversion).
    • Rail operators, who want to optimize the performance of their equipment in terms of safety, quality, availability and maintenance costs.
    • Maintainers, who want to benefit from parts deliveries and repairs.
