The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of railway rolling stock solutions structured across key service categories: Passenger Coach Modernization and Reconstruction, encompassing complete structural overhauls, interior redesigns, and technical retrofitting for first-class coaches, second-class salon cars, sleeping cars, couchette coaches, restaurant cars, and historical passenger rolling stock; Technical Systems and Subsystems Retrofitting, including the installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, passenger information systems, onboard audio-video entertainment systems, ecological vacuum toilet modules, electro-pneumatic braking equipment, auxiliary power converters, passenger power/USB charging outlets, and accessibility amenities for passengers with reduced mobility; Maintenance and Repair Services, consisting of scheduled periodic technical revisions, intermediate inspections, accidental damage repair, and general overhauls for passenger coaches and specialized freight wagons; and Subassembly Reconditioning, covering the technical testing, machining, and overhaul of bogies, wheelsets, draft and buffer gear, brake distributors, inter-car gangways, and electrical switchboards.
In recent developments, Atelierele CFR Grivita SA played a central role in large-scale rolling stock modernization programs funded under Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) for national passenger rail operator CFR Calatori, successfully upgrading and delivering 57 passenger coaches across first-class, second-class salon, couchette, and sleeper configurations to meet modern European passenger comfort and safety standards. In addition, the company entered into a strategic facility agreement by leasing industrial land and rail infrastructure to Alstom for the creation of the Alstom Grivita Depot, dedicated to the testing, commissioning, and maintenance of new electric multiple units (EMUs). The company continues to invest in technical capabilities and quality management certifications aligned with European Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) to expand its services across domestic state-owned and private rail transport operators as well as international rolling stock owners.
