- Vossloh AG, headquartered in Werdohl, Germany, and founded in 1883, develops and manufactures rail infrastructure products and services worldwide across more than 100 countries through approximately 40 production sites. The company operates three main divisions—Core Components, Customized Modules, and Lifecycle Solutions—offering rail fastening systems for heavy-haul and high-speed lines; concrete sleepers, switch ties, and concrete elements for slab tracks and level crossings; switch systems and crossings including turnouts, manganese frogs, switch blades, actuators, locking devices, and signaling products; rail monitoring systems; as well as maintenance services encompassing rail grinding, milling, inspection, welding, trading, unloading, replacement, and digital lifecycle solutions for rails, switches, fastenings, and sleepers. Vossloh serves rail network operators, infrastructure managers, and heavy-haul customers with a focus on track availability, sustainable mobility, and decarbonization. In October 2025, Vossloh completed its €450 million acquisition of Sateba, a Paris-based European leader in concrete sleepers with 19 sites across ten countries and annual capacity of four million units, expanding its European portfolio; the company subsequently secured €600 million in promissory note loans in November 2025, primarily to refinance the deal alongside existing debt, with terms of three to seven years at favorable margins arranged by BayernLB, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken. Vossloh also won a nearly €20 million contract in 2025 via its Chinese subsidiary for rail fastening systems on the Xining-Chengdu high-speed line, reinforcing its nearly two-decade presence in China's expanding rail network.
