Plasser & Theurer is an Austrian family-owned company established in 1953, renowned as a global leader in the design and manufacture of track maintenance machines for the railway industry. With a history of setting technological milestones, the company offers a comprehensive range of machinery covering all aspects of track construction, maintenance, and monitoring, enabling higher working speeds and superior quality of work. Plasser & Theurer has supplied over 14,000 machines to more than 100 countries, demonstrating its extensive international reach. The company's commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability has solidified its reputation as a trusted partner in the railway sector.
The railway of tomorrow needs an efficient infrastructure network. In the case of ÖBB, the goal is to double capacity in Austria by 2040. Maintenance also has to keep pace and needs new concepts to meet that goal.
On 11 September, Plasser & Theurer, the global technology leader for track construction and maintenance machines, celebrated the ground-breaking ceremony for its new assembly and commissioning factory at the Pummererstrasse site in the Linz industrial area.
After less than four months, the machine left Plasser & Theurer’s Life Cycle Service Competence Centre in Linz. It was back in operation immediately afterwards.
This ecofriendly initiative underlines the company’s commitment to sustainable technologies and significant emission reductions in the railway construction industry.
