Mixing local and global railway culture
On the strength of its long experience in some 13 different countries, Consolis has developed a strong international railway culture. This translates into a significant technological capability, both in the design and production fields. As a result, Consolis' railway activity is not limited to standard sleepers. The product range includes high-speed technology (equipment of tracks for the TGV, ICE and CTRL), concrete bearers for switches and crossings, concrete sleepers for slab track, and associated railway products such as railway crossing systems, railway platforms, foundation systems for poles and others.
Clients also include urban tramway operators and underground mass transit systems. Here, very specific custom-designed products are needed, in particular to reduce noise and vibration or to provide a more aesthetic finish. The many years' know-how accumulated from the extremely broad range of products and market segments served enables Consolis to provide customers with tailored solutions which are produced with the highest standards in quality and efficiency.
Consolis was a pioneer in the production of concrete railway sleepers. The group companies (most of them leaders in their national markets) have over 40 years' experience in this field and have indeed defined the standard for this product type in the majority of European countries. The experience goes back to the 1920s. Consolis produces approximately three million railway sleepers annually.
