Progress Rail Signs Contract with Network Rail to Supply Switches and Crossings in the UK
Progress Rail has signed a five-year contract with Network Rail to supply switches and crossings (S&C) and associated components.
Progress Rail will draw upon its extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities in the United Kingdom (U.K.) to deliver on this contract. The work will provide Network Rail continued access to Progress Rail’s local, responsive manufacturing capabilities, as well as long-term supply chain resilience in the UK rail market. Over the five-year period, Progress Rail anticipates increased collaboration on S&C design and supply, which will drive product and delivery improvements and provide additional benefits to Network Rail.
“Through working together to deliver best-in-class products over the years, we have developed a trusted relationship with Network Rail,” commented Hyung Kim, executive vice president of infrastructure at Progress Rail. “This contract is an important step in strengthening our strategic relationship and building on the value we provide in support of Network Rail and the wider UK rail industry.”
Progress Rail is dedicated to producing switches and crossings, with four manufacturing and product assembly sites across the U.K., including two foundries in South Queensferry and Nottingham.
