Vossloh
Vossloh is a German rail infrastructure group headquartered in Werdohl, supplying rail fastening systems, concrete sleepers, switch systems and lifecycle services to railways worldwide.
The company traces its origins to 1888, when Eduard Vossloh began supplying components to the Prussian state railways from Werdohl in North Rhine-Westphalia. Vossloh AG is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is a member of the SDAX index.
The group employed 5,514 people as of 31 March 2026, up from 4,383 a year earlier, driven primarily by the first-time consolidation of the French concrete sleeper manufacturer Sateba.
Products and services
Vossloh organises its business in three divisions: Core Components, Customized Modules and Lifecycle Solutions. Core Components covers rail fastening systems and concrete sleepers, Customized Modules covers switch systems, and Lifecycle Solutions covers rail maintenance and machining services.
The fastening portfolio spans ballasted track and slab track across all load profiles, from conventional mixed-traffic lines to high-speed and heavy haul. The company states that its elastic tension-clamp fastenings require no retightening in normal service.
Market position
The group counts around 80 companies across close to 30 countries, with more than 40 production sites, active across the track and infrastructure market. Group revenue reached EUR 1.34 billion in 2025.
The Sateba acquisition, completed on 1 October 2025 at an enterprise value of EUR 450 million, added around 1,000 employees and 19 production sites in ten European countries. It extends Vossloh’s concrete sleeper business — previously concentrated in North America and Australia — into Europe.
Current activity
In January 2026 Vossloh acquired Nordic Tamping Service in Sweden, expanding its Lifecycle Solutions division in Scandinavia. Orders received in the first half of 2026 rose to EUR 828.5 million, driven by the Sateba consolidation and growth in the existing business, lifting the order backlog to a record EUR 1,140.7 million.
Half-year revenue grew 21.9 percent to EUR 710.1 million. In July 2026 the group cut its full-year 2026 guidance to EUR 1.51 to 1.61 billion in sales and EUR 195 to 210 million in EBITDA, citing lower call-offs under existing framework agreements and deliveries postponed into 2027.
