• Order value more than €20 million
• Deliveries mainly expected in the second half of 2024

Werdohl, June 3, 2024. Vossloh has further strengthened its excellent market position in China. The Chinese subsidiary Vossloh Fastening Systems China Co. Ltd. was again commissioned to supply rail fastening systems for a section of a high-speed line currently under construction in China. The line will connect the metropolis of Jinan, capital of the eastern Chinese province of Shandong, with the major city of Binzhou, some 120 kilometers to the northeast. In between are four other stations that will be newly built, including one at Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport. 

The order has a sales volume equivalent to more than €20 million. Deliveries of the rail fastening systems are mainly scheduled for the second half of 2024.

"This latest order win illustrates how much confidence Chinese market participants have in our products. We have been operating in China for 18 years now with a subsidiary including our own production facility and have built up an excellent reputation," says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG, adding: "We are proud to once again make an important contribution to the development of the world's largest and most modern high-speed network and to promote environmentally friendly mobility there."

The Chinese high-speed rail network currently covers just over 43,000 kilometers and is planned to be expanded to over 70,000 kilometers by 2035. The Chinese subsidiary Vossloh Fastening Systems China Co. Ltd. based in Kunshan has around 130 employees and is one of the leading local suppliers of rail fastening systems, particularly for highly demanding applications on high-speed lines.
