With over 20 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, Sifferlen has led more than 20 successful transactions in the multimillion-dollar range. He brings extensive international experience in executing complex deals in both private equity and publicly traded companies across various industries.
“The rail industry plays a critical role in North America’s infrastructure,” said Eric Sifferlen. He looks forward to collaborating with the RailPros leadership team and forming partnerships with complementary companies in the rail business.

These acquisitions have expanded RailPros‘ service offerings in rail transportation and related services. The company provides, among other things, training and certification in signal and communication technology, full program execution, as well as engineering services, project management, and technological solutions for customers in North America.
