Railroads are a fundamental component of our supply chain, with over 37,000 locomotives and 1.7 million railcars in North America. 

In the United States alone, 1.5 trillion ton-miles of freight are moved by rail every year, accounting for 28% of the total freight volume. That makes railways the second-leading method of moving goods, following commercial trucks, which handle both long-haul transportation and last-mile deliveries.

Trains travel an incredible number of miles and transport a massive amount of goods each year. It’s no surprise new locomotives and railcars are always in production. 

At the same time, replacement parts and maintenance-of-way components are in constant demand to help keep trains moving.

Build-to-Print Manufacturing Solutions for North America’s Railways

A reliable rail industry is essential to North America’s economic infrastructure and supply chains. 

But building trains is a hefty task — a single locomotive contains more than 200,000 parts. And railcars must be strong enough to carry large, heavy freight over long distances. 

We partner closely with railroad industry OEMs and have learned how to achieve the precision and quality standards that the industry requires. 

Leveraging our skills in precision CNC machining, laser cutting, and sheet metal fabrication, we’ve manufactured parts and sub-assemblies for a variety of locomotive, railcar, and maintenance-of-way applications. 

With our combination of industry-specific experience and high production capacity as a large multisite manufacturer, we’re able to provide the cost-effective contract manufacturing solutions leaders within the industry need.

Keeping Trains Rolling with Quick-Turn Replacement Parts

The array of parts required for locomotives, railcars, and maintenance-of-way systems allows you to fully leverage our comprehensive sheet metal fabrication and precision CNC machining capabilities. 

You can count on us to deliver quick-turn, build-to-print manufacturing services for components such as:

• Adapters
• Angle assemblies
• Brackets
• Bulkheads
• Couple supports
• Door components
• Draft gear supports
• Exterior skins
• Flanges
• Handles
