Alstom, a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, is expanding its railway rolling stock production capacities in Poland. Over five years, starting from 2022 till 2027 the company total investments will amount to PLN 487 million spent to develop its sites in Chorzów, Wrocław, and Nadarzyn. PLN 320 million has already been allocated for infrastructure expansion for new projects and site modernisation in the last three years, including setting up a new aluminum welding line in Wroclaw site, which enabled the unit to expand its production capabilities, originally focused on products made of carbon steel.
Another approx. PLN 170 million will be invested in the next two years in Alstom’s largest site in Poland – Chorzow. The investment will include construction of halls, a railway track and the installation of new equipment. The three new halls with a total area of nearly 8,000 square metres, will be equipped with modern production lines and machinery which will be used to build both double-decker and single-deck trains for clients from all over Europe – from Denmark, through Romania, to Germany.
The execution of new contracts in Chorzów will also be possible by the expansion and adaptation of one of the existing halls, where for over six years nearly 1300 cars for 324 Coradia Stream electric multiple units have been produced for the Italian market. The last car left the Chorzów production line for Italy in spring 2025, celebrated in the company’s internal event as over the years more than a thousand site employees have been involved in the execution of this significant contract.
In 2024, Alstom's production capacities were further strengthened by the opening of a new hall with an area of over 10,000 square metres at the Świętochłowice plant. The plant produces specialised components, including cabs for Coradia Max and Coradia Stream trains and metro car subassemblies. It also carries out work related to equipping new and modernising existing trains. The hall has stations for servicing up to six cars simultaneously. The production processes are carried out in close cooperation with the Chorzów plant, which is Alstom's competency centre in the field of metro and regional train production, as well as elements for suburban and urban transport.
