Voestalpine Schienen

Voestalpine Schienen

voestalpine Schienen (http://www.voestalpine.com) manufactures rails of the highest quality and is globally recognized as technology leader. We are the largest rail manufacturing site in Europe, with an annual production volume of approx. 350,000 metric tons. Carrying a full product range, we offer more than 100 different sections, the largest product range of all manufacturers. Specialties with a strong position in the market are the domain of voestalpine Schienen.

This also includes ultra-long rails. In the forefront of innovative rail technology, voestalpine in 1990 was the first rail manufacturer in the world to offer unwelded long rails, causing a boom in demand that has continued unabated to the present. Apart from flat-bottomed rails for railway permanent way construction, we manufacture a comprehensive range of grooved rails for light rail public transport (streetcars).

We also manufacture special rails for the construction of switches. All rail sections and lengths can be delivered in micro-pearlitic head special hardened HSH grades, if demanded. Head special hardened rails achieve a significantly longer useful life span than standard rail grades and are therefore especially suited to use under heavy load stress. Systems technology and a range of services tailored to specific customer demands (for instance just-in-time deliveries to any railway construction site in Europe as well as intelligent unloading with our innovative long-rail unloading system RAILPUTLER) complete a product range that is oriented towards the future.
