Swiss train manufacturer soars to record high
Stadler Rail sold more trains in 2019 than ever before. Incoming orders for 2019 amount to CHF 5.1 billion and are over CHF 700 million higher than the previous year. Of this amount, more than CHF 833 million were attributable to the service and components reporting segment. Consequently, the order backlog also rose to a record CHF 15 billion.
Stadler has invested in new technologies in recent years and was able to win customers for several innovations much earlier than expected. 2019 was marked by spectacular growth not only in terms of incoming orders, but also in other areas: a total of 444 trains and locomotives were delivered in the past financial year. This represents an increase of around 80% compared to the previous year. (ben)
