- Business
- Alstom SA (Ticker: AOMFF) is a global leader in rail transport infrastructure and mobility solutions, designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing, delivering, and maintaining a wide range of products and services including rolling stock such as high-speed, regional, metro, tramway, and light rail vehicles; traction and signaling systems; digital and integrated systems for train control and traffic management; station and passenger information solutions; and asset management, maintenance, and modernization services. The company operates across five main business segments: Rolling Stock, Signalling, Services, Integrated Systems, and Digital Mobility & Services, serving public transport authorities, rail freight operators, and national railway companies worldwide with a focus on sustainable, low-carbon mobility solutions. Founded in 1923 and headquartered in Saint-Ouen, France, Alstom maintains extensive geographic operations in over 60 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa, with key manufacturing and service facilities in France, India, the United States, Germany, and Italy.
Alstom's core offerings emphasize innovative technologies like the Avelia Horizon high-speed train platform, Prima locomotives, Metropolis metro cars, Aptis electric buses (now transitioned to hydrogen focus), and the Atlas digital signaling suite, complemented by turnkey system integration for urban transit networks and predictive maintenance through HealthHub digital services. The company targets urban mass transit, mainline rail, freight, and emerging hydrogen-powered mobility markets, with subsidiaries including Alstom Transport Italia, Alstom India, and Alstom America, operating independently following its 2021 acquisition by General Electric's rail business (now fully integrated under Alstom branding).
In recent developments, Alstom secured major contracts in 2024-2025, including a €2 billion deal for 80 regional trains in Italy, a €1.6 billion order for 117 Avelia Horizon high-speed trains in Germany with Siemens, and hydrogen train supply partnerships in Europe and North America; it also completed the acquisition of Trenes y Servicios Argentinos in Argentina in late 2024, expanded its U.S. presence with a new signaling center in Rochester, New York, and launched the next-generation Alstom LumiWave signaling platform alongside strategic alliances for digital twin technology in predictive maintenance. These moves reflect Alstom's aggressive expansion in sustainable rail technologies amid global electrification trends, with reported revenue growth driven by record order backlogs exceeding €90 billion as of fiscal year 2025. No major name changes or reorganizations have occurred recently, underscoring stable leadership under CEO Henri Poupart-Lafarge.
