Expanding rail business in UK


Knorr-Bremse has acquired service provider Westcode from Unipart Rail. The deal is expected to unlock opportunities for Knorr-Bremse to expand its service business in UK. The acquisition brings with it a skilled workforce that will further boost Knorr-Bremse’s Rail Services business.

 

This will enable Knorr-Bremse to provide maintenance services for a larger amount of products, including air supply systems and the brake control units in train braking systems, as well as climate control and entrance systems.

 

At the same time, Rail Services will be able to service even more third-party components from other manufacturers. This flexible support is important for train operators because it allows them to concentrate fully on their rail operations.

 

In recent years, Knorr-Bremse has launched multiple initiatives to further expand the group’s rail service business in Europe. As part of this strategy, Knorr-Bremse acquired DSB Component Workshops last year. (ben)
