DRIVING INNOVATION INTO THE RAIL INDUSTRY
Trelleborg Antivibration Solutions has developed many ‘first to market’ solutions for the rail sector, including the chevron, hourglass spring and airspring. Once setting a new benchmark, these have since become industry standards.
Similarly, Trelleborg Antivibration Solutions manufactures and markets the Metalastik® brand. First introduced almost 100 years ago Metalastik® has evolved to become one of the most respected and successful brands in the rail industry.
This innovation continues today. Investing significantly in R&D, we work closely with rail customers and academia to develop new solutions which anticipate and meet future needs. As a result, we offer one of the most complete portfolios of rail sector solutions – and one we’re adding to continuously.
We can apply this innovation to your unique needs, developing a bespoke and cost-effective solution for your application. Give us the challenge, and our specialist teams will work with you at every stage – from concept, design and manufacturing, to modelling, testing and installation.
With our expertise and experience, and our IRIS approved facilities, the solution will meet your needs and be fully compliant with international standards, ensuring you feel the full power of our innovation.
quality in testing, manufacture and support
We understand the demanding environment of the rail industry, and the pressures you face.
On one hand there’s the over-riding concern for safety, with comfort for workers and passengers also a prime consideration. On the other, there’s the need to drive energy efficiencies in the face of rising environmental concerns. And through it all, there’s the need to improve productivity and profit by extending the life and performance of equipment.
For these reasons, the rail industry is both risk averse, and keen to embrace new cost-effective technology. Trelleborg Antivibration Solutions is able to balance the demands of both.
Our high-quality products are the result of over 100 years’ experience in the rail sector.
