The Salcef Group company aims to double production capacity with its additional factory.

The new facility managed by SRT, a Salcef Group company that designs, builds and maintains railway machines, has an indoor area of around 5,500 m² and is located in the industrial area of Sant’Ippolito (PU), alongside the historic operational headquarters in Fano, which have also recently been renovated and expanded.

Activities in the new plant began with the installation of two production lines for rolling stock construction, principally railway wagons and rail grinding machines. The plant will significantly increase the company’s production capacity, expanding both the machine fleets of Salcef Group operating companies and those destined for external markets. In particular, in line with other Group companies, SRT aims to increase railway machine production for the US market.

Last month, the first set of DHS wagons, built in Italy by SRT and assembled in America by the newly controlled Delta Railroad Construction, was delivered . The vehicles were immediately hired by an important American railway contractor and are already operational on site in the Boston area.

SRT has also significantly increased its workforce, which now has more than 80 technicians and designers in its two factories. These personnel conceive, design and approve rolling stock, as well as building it. The company boasts an entire department made up of young engineers who work to develop innovative solutions in the railway sector: many patents have been filed and others are being studied.
