Interpipe expands deliveries of railway products to the North American region

The Ukrainian industrial company INTERPIPE has long been considered the leader of the European market for railway products. But North America is another, no less strategic direction for our sales. Recently, we have signed a number of important contracts for the supply of wheels to our North American partners.

• Trains in the Sacramento metro (USA) will run on wheels Interpipe NTZ

The complexity of this order was that the wheels were manufactured simultaneously according to two standards - European EN and American AAR. The development of this product began four years ago, in a joint project with German companies Bochumer Verein Verkehrstechnik and Siemens.

The BVV inspector received a pilot batch in Ukraine, and then our products additionally passed a rigorous audit directly in Germany, at the factories of the Siemens concern, which produces rolling stock for the metro.

• Canadian cars will be repaired using Interpipe wheels

The coronavirus pandemic has a much smaller impact on Canadian carriers than in the United States or other regions. Therefore, we managed to establish cooperation with the largest car repair companies in Canada. INTERPIPE has already delivered three wheel designs to this market, two more types are possible.
