For more than 10 years, Gmeinder Getriebe has been a reliable and trusted partner for Alpha Trains in the field of gear maintenance, optimization, and repair. Now comes the continuation of the cooperation.

In the last days, the two companies have signed two more framework agreements for cooperation.

“Over the last 10 years, Gmeinder Getriebe has been a key service provider of Alpha Trains delivering high quality overhauls on the large number of gearboxes owned by Alpha Trains.

We are therefore happy to extend this cooperation further with these new long-term agreements entered with Gmeinder Getriebe”,adds Fernando Pérez, Managing Director of Locomotives Division in Alpha Trains Group.
