In April, KLW mastered and manufactured 100 pieces of passenger wheels with a diameter of 750 mm and 72 pieces of 1016 mm locomotive wheels according to the specifications of the end user - the Greek railway operator.
In total, under the terms of a long-term contract, the company plans to supply 10 types of railway wheels. The wheels will be used to repair all types of wagons in the client's railway fleet, including both passenger, freight, and locomotive wheels.
Niclas Eriksson, Leading Railway Products Sales Manager for EU market and OEMs at KLW, commented:
- We secured this order thanks to our long-standing partner in the Greek market, the railway product distributor Artemi. Over years of collaboration, we have built a robust partnership that has enabled us to establish a firm foothold in the local rolling stock market. Within the Greek railway market, the demand for individual wheel and wheelset designs shifts frequently, and with it, our customers' requirements. However, we strive to manufacture even small batches of niche products, as flexibility and a customer-centric approach are the absolute keys to long-term cooperation.
