German rail technology company Vossloh has signed multi-year framework agreements with a combined value of up to €100m to deliver switch components to Sweden and Italy.
In Sweden, the company signed the agreements with local transport administration Trafikverket. The tenure of the agreements is four years with the option of two two-year extensions.
If all options are exercised, the total sales volume will amount to more than €75m.
Vossloh’s Swedish business, which operates under its Customised Modules division, will supply the switch components to Trafikverket.
Vossloh CEO Andreas Busemann said: “We are pleased that the renewed trust Trafikverket placed in Vossloh will allow us to continue our successful cooperation with them. The renewed contract is a sign of the reliability of our products.”
In Italy, the company will supply switch components and systems to the state-owned rail company Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) for high-speed lines.
