For many years, CAF has maintained a close relationship and collaboration with benchmark companies in railway-related sectors, such as civil works companies and companies in the electricity sector, and also with financial institutions and public bodies. This has all led CAF to head and participate in prestigious projects throughout the world, based on concession or turnkey models.
