The U.S. market for railway traction motor replacements and refurbishments is substantial, with an expansive rail network spanning about 140,000 miles—three times larger than Indian Railways—and increasing demand for high-quality, reliable solutions dominated by Class I railroads, according to a statement.
Flanders’ ability to ensure rapid throughput times, quality assurance, and maximum reliability of repair services through its U.S. footprint makes it an ideal partner for localized and effective customer engagement and reliable service. This will enable CG USA to offer cutting-edge solutions backed by over eight decades of global expertise, it added.
“Our association with Flanders complements our world-class manufacturing capabilities, allowing us to provide timely and cost-effective solutions to U.S. rail operators,” said Mr. Amar Kaul, Global CEO and Managing Director of CG.
Both companies plan to scale capabilities and expand into the U.S. rail market. “We are proud to join forces with CG to bring our motor expertise into the rail sector, one of the most critical components of the U.S. economy,” said Kim Weninger, CEO of Flanders.
The association with Flanders marks the next phase of CG’s growth in North America and Flanders’ growth in the traction motor business, positioning both companies to lead the future of rail transportation.
