Elmira (USA)
CAF’s
plant in Elmira (New York, USA)
is the result of
the intense activity of the company in the North American
market over the last few years.
The high volume of orders in the US market (more than 600
million dollars in sales, in three years) has driven us to
establish a solid infrastructure in North America.
For this purpose, CAF USA acquired the plant in December
2000. This factory has produced railway vehicles since 1986
under the ownership of ABB and later Adtranz. Highly skilled
workers and managers, experienced in the North American railway
market, work in Elmira.
In order to serve its customers’ needs in the USA,
CAF has several, customer service and maintenance centers
in Sacramento (California), Greenbelt (Maryland) and Pittsburgh
(Pennsylvania).
The Elmira plant is CAF’s North American manufacturing
headquarters, centralizing the management, the coordination
with all the US suppliers and on site support for the US customers.
