Euromaint’s reprocessing of bogies in Örebro is claimed to be the largest in Sweden.

The company has rebuilt the workshop and concentrated operations under one roof, which will shorten through-put times, increase quality and offer more efficient operations.

SJ chief purchasing officer Björn Holmberg said: "Euromaint has long experience and high levels of expertise and meets our high requirements for availability, reliability and punctuality. We see the several advantages to continuing our collaboration with Euromaint."

In July 2013, Euromaint Rail secured a contract from SJ to provide maintenance services for locomotives that run between Sala and Linköping.
